She

She knew she was different
 When she was nine years old
 She had a little trouble
 Doing what she was told
 Strong-willed, spirit-filled, innocent, wild
 Not your typical yes ma'am, no ma'am child
 It was her life and she was gonna live it
 And if it took her heart and soul
 She was gonna give it
 She was young enough to question
 Old enough to know
 There's no place in this world she couldn't go
 And if the road runs out
 She's gonna build a bridge
 To the other side
 That's just how she is
 That's just how she is, she is, she is, she is
 The day she turned eighteen
 She instinctively knew
 Love is the teacher
 Life is the school
 And she figured it out one fateful day
 That if she played it safe she would never play
 And in that moment hearts dream about
 A girl walked in and a woman walked out
 She was young enough to question
 Old enough to know
 There's no place in this world she couldn't go
 And if the road runs out
 She's gonna build a bridge
 To the other side
 That's just how she is
 That's just how she is, she is, she is, she is
 Driven by a fire
 Burning deep inside
 She says if life is what you make it
 I'm gonna make it mine
 She was young enough to question
 Old enough to know
 There's no place in this world she couldn't go
 And if the road runs out
 She's gonna build a bridge
 To the other side
 That's just how she is
 That's just how she is, she is, she is, she is
