LYRICS
Beast:
        A young girl has so many dreams, dreams that fashion
        and give shape and meaning to her life.
        Brushing her hair before her mirror, she waits for a touch on her shoulder,
        or a glance, an embrace, that will make all of her dreams come true.
        And suddenly all will make sense, and everything will have its own place,
        and she will become a woman, and will know a man.
 
        Then one day her fate is decided, and the measure of her happiness
        seems less than her dreams;
        and the way she has chosen is the long and lonely road to despair.
        Then she longs to turn back the way she has come,
        to return to her family, and a child’s happiness.
 
        I know that you do not see in me the fulfillment of your dreams;
        yet will you not accept me as you see me?
