A girl of 5
A girl of 5
She runs like the wind
The sun on her skin
She smiles
A girl of 5
A girl of 5
A stick in her hand
She waves her arm in command
She's vile!

A fairy, maybe
She climbs up a tree
pretends that she's flyyyying.
A sailboat, she sails
Until she is pale
She didn't know she was up so high!

A girl of 5
A girl of 5
A young mind to mold
She says she wont get old
She's Peter Pan!
A girl of 5
A girl of 5
She lay on the grass
She doesn't have to ask
She's just plain fine...

That girl of 5
That girl of 5
Grew up in 15 years.
She wiped away her tears
As she left
20 years young
She was so glum
To leave her land
That she thought was so grand
To work as a cortisone

Baby, Maybe
I'll be okay
Maybe, Baby
I'll find my way
Back to my home
Instead of alone
Maybe Baby, Maybe baby
No...one...know....

Dont ask me why, but i think this would be better entitled " That Girl Of 5." xD

It was fine, and i quite liked re living her life, up till you used the word glum. I dont have a problem with it, just it was a little out of place after all teh joy and WHOOP WHOOP. And from then on i just didnt really understand it. It was fine all the way till there, though, so maybe rework out the bottom? You kind of got something going, though. Maybe more on how she grew up and what happened - that was a little too rushed. Also i didnt really get the last line.

But it can be something great, you know. POTENTIAL POTENTIAL! :D

Also points for having the same title as a poem i wrote.~ I thought it was mine. :P

If you lead me, I will go.
Repetition can be used very well, but I think having "girl of five" eight times in two choruses is a bit much, hm? Maybe that's just me.

It was a nice story about childhood innocence in that. Add some more verses, and a bridge or something. Tell us more of that story! And then you did Baby, Maybe/Maybe, Baby. I don't know what it was about that, but it was pretty strange.

Mm, Peter Pan. Definitely one of my favorite stories ever. Although I have no idea how sailing can make you pale.

Look carefully. There's something wrong with this picture.

thank u :)
the point of the maybe, baby was to stress the possibility that she might return home. x.x idk if i got the meaning of a cortisone right, but i think it means like a can-can girl or someone who entertains men. (sorry...too much MoulinRouge x.x)
im sorry i didnt really fill in the story since its a song about a story i've written.
It takes place in a small village in France where a young girl's father owns a large farm. There she is free to roam the the fields and play whatever make beleive games she wants to play. As she grows older her father slowly falls ill with a disease and dies when she is 20. Knowing there are many rich men in Paris, the girl ventures off to basically be a fancy whore to provide for her mother and younger brother. She runs into trouble there, and writes a song about her childhood, then wishes to return there.
._. soooo yeah...mai bad Dx
