Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Ooh
Young girl, it's alright
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly
Ooh

When you're safe inside your room, you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within
Yea
Oh

Young girl, don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away
Ooh, woh yeah
Young girl, just hold tight
Soon you're gonna see your brighter day
Ooh

Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you look outside, look inside to your soul

When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
If you will learn to begin to trust the voice within

Oh, ho, yea
Ooh, oh, yea
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, yea
(Ooh, ooh,ooh)
Life is a journey
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
As long as you're learning
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You'll find all you'll ever need to know
(Be strong)
You'll break it
(Hold on)
You'll make it
(Be strong)
Just don't forsake it because
(Hold on)
(No one can tell you what you can't do)
No one can stop you, you know that I'm talking to you

When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within

Ooh, yea
Young girl, don't cry, I'll be right here
When your world starts to fall
Yea
Aaa
Yea
(Listen)
(Listen)
Oh yea
(Listen)
Naa naa naa
(Listen)
{Listen}
Ohh yea
{Listen}
Hmm hmm
{Listen}
Yea
{Listen}

    Memory:This song for me has become one i listen to all the time. My friend shared this link onto my Facebook profile with the comment ' i want you to listen to this song xx it reminds me of you' Right now this song means something to me as i'm grieving the loss of my great grandma as she died 4 weeks ago and this is the song i tend to listen to when i feel rubbish. But i think it's about someone who's feeling like there world is falling apart but they have a friend who's going to help them and get them through a situation.

    General Comment:this song sounds to me more of a meditation made easy..
    in the music video christina is comming out crossing across many roads..
    same way soul comes out from various boundries and set free it self.
    the sentence of a place where nothings harder than it seams sounds like a place like heaven..

    General Comment:This song is truly breath taking.
    The lyrics are so perfect, which can make a lot of people drift away to this song, to just realize that there not the only one who sometimes feel a lack in self confidence or will power, and that there will always be light at the end of the tunnel.

    General Comment:Christina is the BEST pop singer, she's an artist compared to all those other singers. This is coming from a die hard metal/hardcore fan. This song is so beautiful, and helps me feel better about things :)

    General Comment:Quite simply, this song saved my life during my phase of depression. every lyric touched my heart. I would listen to it on repeat everyday for 3 months and everyday I knew I was getting a little stronger and believed in myself a little more. I used to cry from all the pain while I listened to this song but now, I cry when I hear this song because I know this is the song that kept me from claiming my life. this is by far one of the best songs (lyrically) I've ever heard.
