She knew she was different when she was nine years old
She had a little trouble doin' what she was told
Strong willed, spirit filled, innocent wild
Not your typical 'Yes ma'am', 'No ma'am' child

It was her life and she was gonna live it
And if it took her heart and soul, she was gonna give it

She was young enough to question, old enough to know
There's no place in this world she couldn't go
And if the road runs out she's gonna build a bridge to the other side
That's just how she is, that's just how she is, she is, she is, she is

The day she turned eighteen, she instinctivly knew
Love is the teacher, life is the school
And she figured it out one fateful day
That if she played it safe, she would never play

And in that moment hearts dream about
A girl walked in and a woman walked out

She was young enough to question, old enough to know
There's no place in this world she couldn't go
And if the road runs out she's gonna build a bridge to the other side
That's just how she is, that's just how she is, she is, she is, she is

Driven by fire, burnin' deep inside
She says, if life is what you make it
I'm gonna make it mine, yeah

She was young to question, old enough to know
There's no place in this world she couldn't go
And if the road runs out she's gonna build a bridge to the other side
That's just how she is, that's just how she is, she is, she is, she is
Oh, that's just how she is, she is, she is, she is
Driven by fire
