Far away from that life so young that's when you used to know 
Many dreams since then you've fed up come and gone that time might show 
But stress don't you let it 
Don't you forget it 
Trust you'll find your way to love 
Hope is what your heart is made of 
  
[Chorus:]
 
And don't you forget it
Don't you forget your way home
For that little girl
Hold on to your world 
And don't you forget it
Don't you forget your way home
For that little girl
Hold on to your world 
  
You're worlds apart from first when life was dark 
Understanding what it means to have got 
Nothing but your heavy, broken heart 
Memories of what used to be 
When change comes responsibility 
Don't forget where you were ain't where you've been 
Life's lessons then 
Made you into woman 

Hold on, hold on... (Yeah oh ooh) 
Don't you be afraid 
'Cause a heart beat away 
Is all that you'd never think that sentiment will mean to you 
No need to cry 
You can dry your eyes 
'Cause you can count on the love that through the years 
Helped you face your fears and subside your tears 
Everything will be OK 
Don't you be afraid (No) 
Don't you be afraid 
No, baby...
