Ribbons Undone

She’s a girl rising from a shell
Running to Spring
It is her time, it is her time
Watch her run with ribbons undone

Past Alice blue blossoms, you follow her laughter
And then she’ll surprise you, arms filled with lavender
Yes, my little pony is growing up fast

A look in her eye says the battle’s beginning
From school, she comes home and cries
«I don’t want to grow up, Mom, at least not tonight»

Running through Spring with Summer’s hand in reach now
It is your time, it is your time
So just run with ribbons undone
