Who is that girl behind the curtain?

Pay no attention to that freshman girl behind the curtain

She worries about being left out

Look at the girl with the persistent smile

Look at the girl with the "gets along with everyone" clout.

 

Pay no attention to that sophmore girl behind the curtain

She worries about where she belongs

Look at the gymnast who walks the balance beam

Look at the extracurricular girl who is part of a team.

 

Pay no attention to that junior girl behind the curtain

She worries about her grades and a future uncertain

Look at a girl that studies hard for tests

Look at the girl who does everything she can to be better than the rest.

 

Take a look at that senior girl stepping out from behind the curtain

Her decisions and actions are now pure

Look at the independent thinker enjoying life

Look at the girl who is excited about her future, in that she is finally sure!
