I remember dark times 
I was a child and oh so frightened
When I saw you crying
All alone in the smoke filled kitchen
I wanted to take your pain
Give you stars to light your way

You were my hero
I was your little girl
You made me believe I could
do anything in this world
And all of your scars made you who you are
So brave and unafraid
Someone he couldn’t tame 
We have the same wild heart,
The same wild heart, same wild heart

Raised his voice, still you climbed
Though he gave you a reason to hide
Strong in the face of fear
And you danced right out of there
You could only take so much
’Til you finally said, “Enough”

You were my hero, 
I was your little girl
You made me believeI could 
do anything in this world
And all of your scars made you who you are
So brave and unafraid
Someone he couldn’t tame 
We have the same wild heart,
The same wild heart, same wild heart

Trapped, and still you found your way back
In your sorrow you knew your power
Though he tried to make you small
Your wild roots grew so strong
He couldn’t break you
And the risk was worth it all

You are my hero, and
I’ll always be your little girl
You made me believe I could 
do anything in this world
And all of your scars made you who you are
So brave and unafraid
Someone he couldn’t tame 
We have the same wild heart,
The same wild heart, same wild heart
