One Day

One day I want to be a supermodel

Says the young girl to her mother

And her mother says

Sweetie, you can be anything you want to be.

 

The girl grows up.

 

One day I want to be a supermodel

Says the young girl to her mother

And her mother says

Well sweetie, you better put down the cake.

 

The girl grows up.

 

One day I want to be a supermodel

Says the teenage girl to her mother

And her mother says

Sweetie, you're too heavy to do something like that.

 

The girl grows up.

 

One day I want to be accepted

Says the lonely girl to her mother

And her mother smiles and nods

While the world laughs at the lonely girl

 

The girl grows up.
