I wrote this song for a songwriting game and it was originally a Zydeco song, but I wasn't that happy with it so I made an acoustic version as well and this one is pretty good!

lyrics

Little Laura (The Sad Turtle)

Verse 1

Little Laura is just a turtle
Every hour is a new step, each day is a new hurdle
Even when there's sunshine, Laura wishes she was well
Cuz all she sees is darkness when she's hiding in her shell

Oh oh Laura I want you to know
all you need is baby steps, the fastest were once slow

Chorus

The world moves quick
and only the slow will see it
and if you fall behind
well, so be it
The world is tough
when you're a turtle
So Smile and dry your eyes
Laura Turtle

Verse 2

Little Laura listens to her favorite song
But she can't follow the beat and lyrics are all wrong
And even when she's smiling, there's a little tear inside
Just dreaming of the day when she doesn't have to hide

Oh oh Laura I want you to see
Things don't always work out, just be who you want to be

Verse 3

Little Laura is a sad little turtle
Watches Pokemon, wishes she could be like Squirtle
Maybe we're all like Laura, just hiding in our shells
Just dreaming of the day we can truly be ourselves

Oh oh Laura, we all know that she's a
turtle who'll never be a Ninja, but she's still eating pizza
