Oh, she doesn't know where she's going
But she does know some day she'll get there
Oh, she's not evil
And her friends think she'll come back soon
Life in a small town
Working for the land was starting to whither her away
And she'd left without any luggage
And with a head full of stories to invent
Oh, she doesn't know where she's going
But she does know some day she'll get there
Oh, she's not evil
And her friends believe she'll come back soon
They taught her to be brave
To love her people,
To know when to listen
Now she takes the word,
Now she's leaving home
She want to see the world, to make it hers
Oh, she doesn't know where she's going
And for the time being she's left it all behind
She knows very well how it feels
When no one understands you
And she's out of place
Because her world is different
And she always seems far away,
Just a strange young creature
The songs keep her company,
The old recordings
That she kept in the attic
Her sister's record player
With the needle out of tune
It still plays as she moves away
Oh, she doesn't know where she's going
But she does know some day she'll get there
Oh, she doesn't know where she's going
But she won't forget where she came from
Because it's all she has
Whilst she learns to walk
