Sixteen

Sixteen

On her way to the appointed place
She says a prayer it won't show on her face
She's hiding the fear
So, obediently she conceals
What's in her heart and what she truly feels
No one will hear

SIXTEEN'S WHAT I WANT TO BE
NOT A WIFE, NOT A MOTHER TO BE
HOW CAN HE TAKE ME IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
SAYSHE KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR ME
BUT ALL I SEE IS MISERY
DIRTY SECRETS, DIRTY LIES

She's been raised to submit her will
Chosen to unselfishly fulfill
A higher call
Then she is tempted to believe
It’s not a sin to want to leave
No sin at all .......Because

SIXTEEN'S WHAT I WANT TO BE
NOT A WIFE, NOT A MOTHER TO BE
HOW CAN HE TAKE ME IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
SAYS HE KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR ME
BUT ALL I SEE IS MISERY
DIRTY SECRETS, DIRTY LIES

INSTRUMENTAL

SIXTEEN'S WHAT I WANT TO BE
NOT A WIFE, NOT A MOTHER TO BE
HOW CAN HE TAKE ME IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
SAYS HE KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR ME
BUT ALL I SEE IS MISERY
DIRTY SECRETS, DIRTY LIES
SIXTEEN'S WHAT I WANT TO BE
