Mandy Moore - Are There Girls In The World Like Me

{verse 1}
If i was the daughter of a blacksmith
Would i know the smell of hay?
And could i feel the sound
Of the hooves on the ground?
As the horses pass my way
And if i was the daughter of a blacksmith
Would he teach his tray to me?
I would watch and i'd learn
'til it came my turn to leave his legacy

{chorus}
I am not the daughter of a blacksmith
Though i wish that i could be
I am just alone inside this tower
And i wonder, are there girls in the world like me?

{verse 2}
If i was a fisherman's daughter
Would my clothes smell of the sea?
Would the salt in the air
Tangle my hair?
When the waves reach out to me
And if i was a fisherman's daughter
Would his boat display my name?
"rapunzel," he'd shout
As we journeyed out "the sea is ours to claim"

{chorus}
But i am not a fisherman's daughter
Though i wish that i could be
I have never traveled from this tower
And i wonder, are there girls in the world like me?

{bridge}
Girls who know all the stories
These books and shelves have to tell
Girls who make up new endings
'cause they know the old ones too well
Girls who long to have memories
Of things they never have known
Pictures, places, and fantasies
Where they could stay, just for a day
Before their sadness comes to take it all away
If i was the princess of a kingdom
Then a prince would search for me
And he'd ride every mile
Of the scotland aisle
On his quest to set me free

{chorus}
But i am not the princess of a kingdom
And i will never taste the sea
I am just a dreamer in this tower
And i wonder, are there girls in the world like me?
