Where's the Girl?

I remember days full of restlessness and fury.
I remember nights that were drunk on dreams.
I remember someone who hungered for the glory.
I remember her, but it seems she's gone.

Where's the girl? Where's the girl with the blaze in her eyes?
Where's the girl with that gaze of surprise?
Now and then I still dream of her fire.

Where's the girl who could turn on the edge of a knife?
Where's the girl who was burning for life?
I can still see her eyes in my mem'ry.

And I know she remembers how fearless it feels
To take off with the wind at her heels.
She and I took this world like a storm.

Come again!
Let the girl in your heart tumble free.
Bring your renegade heart home to me.
In the dark of the morning, come warm me.
Come rouse me.

Dreaming girl, don't forget, recall who you are.
You were cut from a great fiery star.
Like a jewel in the sky blazing fire.

Where's the girl so alive and still aching for more?
You had dreams that were worth dying for.
You were caught in the eye of a storm.

Come again!
Let the girl in your heart tumble free.
Bring your renegade heart home to me.
In the dark of the morning, come warm me.
Come rouse me.

Where's the girl?
Is she gazing at me with surprise?
Do I still see that blaze in her eyes?
Am I dreaming, or is she inside me now?

This is my song at the moment. Changed the lyrics a bit. Ah, I used to be so fired up. And while I like what I've become, I miss the bold and unafraid part of me. I will find her. She's in here somewhere. And I will find her.
