Wendy

I was born my mother's kin

Sweet and kind and gentle

Was all I ever wanted to be

Was all I ever knew to be

Wise and loyal and stable

'Til a shadow was cast on me

And yet I am still waiting after all this time

I hate that I'm still wanting after all this time

And you keep on updating

The ticking of the time

You think you're updating

But along the while

Each daughter will be wiser

And you say you're not changing,

You're never growing up

You may be never changing

But along the while

Each daughter will be wiser

I was kept anticipating

Years and years on end

Spent leaning by the windowsill

Spent gazing up between the clouds

Lone and bored and helpless

'Til from the prison I broke free

And yet I am still waiting after all this time

I hate that I'm still wanting after all this time

And you keep on updating

The ticking of the time

You think you're updating

But along the while

Each daughter will be wiser

And you say you're not changing,

You're never growing up

You may be never changing

But along the while

Each daughter will be wiser

I guess you haven't noticed how much I have grown

You think you taught us how but we're flying on our own
