Lyrics
Purple knit cap, horn rimmed glasses
Radiant shy smile when she lets down her guard
Not the magazine's idea of pretty
But when she smiles, she'll catch your eye
Her parents, they worry, she's not making any friends
They don't understand her quiet ferocity
Don't go, my baby girl, they say, the world will let you down
And you'll be swallowed up by the Big City
She's gonna change the world
Because she believes she can
She's gonna change the world
She's young and open-hearted, not afraid to take a stand
How is she to know about the long road ahead?
And how her choices everyday will narrow the path?
She wears that purple knit cap like hope on her sleeve
Wakes up every morning needing something to believe
Chorus
She doesn't understand poverty
And she doesn't understand negativity
And she doesn't understand reality
So they say, so they say, so they say
So they say, so they say, so they say
Chorus 2x
