Dear Daughter

Dear daughter

Hold your head up high

There's a world outside that's passin' by

Dear daughter

Never lose yourself

Remember that you're like nobody else

Life throws you into the unknown

And you feel like you're out there all alone

These are words that every girl

Should have a chance to hear

There will be love, there will be pain

There will be hope, there will be fear

And through it all, year after year

Stand or fall, I will be right here for you

Dear daughter

Don't worry 'bout those stupid girls

If they try to bring you down, it's 'cause they're scared and insecure

Dear daughter

Don't change for any man

Even if he promises the stars and takes you by the hand

Life throws you into the unknown

And you feel like you're out there all alone

Well, these are words that every girl

Should have a chance to hear

There will be love, there will be pain

There will be hope, there will be fear

And through it all, year after year

Stand or fall, I will be right here for you

Dear daughter

I was just like you

And just like me, you're gonna make it through

These are words that every girl

Should have a chance to hear

There will be love, there will be pain

There will be hope, there will be fear

And through it all, year after year

Stand or fall, I will be right here for you

And after all, I will be right here

For you
