Just another family who was born in a China bed
And a mother whose daughters are dead
A dad who doesn’t act fatherly and a mom who can probably see
Her only daughter as a prodigy
She wants her to be best of the rest though
Maybe even someone like Shirley Temple
The mom wanted to continue this idea, but her daughter wanted her to stop it
So she got a new haircut from a beauty college
The mom realizes and wants her to practice piano and what other people wrote
So Mr. Chong helped her learn “Pleading Child” Notes
She had a schedule of lessons to learn all the keys
Reading magazines of people she wanted to be
Then comes a talent show hopefully won with victory
Then she’s sitting on the bench little to know she going to enter misery
It’s her turn and suddenly making mistakes and the notes weren’t memorized
Almost in tears she said her good byes
Hearing babies cry
And the audience sigh
At least JingiMei tries.
Her legs shaking and getting sentimental almost in tears
Only a couple people clapping, exactly her fears
Her mom disappointed, looking over at me
Mad because even Waverly, the genius can get a trophy
Strong-willed heart wasn’t so well
Yelling at her mom and starting to rebel
A couple years later gone with the last actions of betrayal
She dropped out of capital college and went back home
Got her piano and unfortunately her mother was gone
Helping her dad pay off her bills
She took the piano and showed off her skills
