I'm soul searching to see what I can find
I'm on my way baby with a nickel and a dime
Just got an attitude and with that I will survive

Like a young unpredictable child
Crosses the street not afraid but has a smile
When you have all the courage to stand alone
Climb a wall then you fall and continue on
Like the birds and the doves that fly above
Spreading their wings with a little bit of joy and love
A little bit of joy and love, yeah

A thousand miles of road ahead
It might take me a while
There's a car coming about 50
A nice man with a smile
He pulls over and he says to me
"This stretch might take you a while, yeah girl"

Like a young unpredictable child
Crosses the street not afraid but has a smile
When you have all the courage to stand alone
Climb a wall then you fall and continue on
Like the birds and the doves that fly above
Spreading their wings with a little bit of joy and love
A little bit of joy and love, yeah yeah
