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
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
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ah-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ah
Dear daughter, don't worry 'bout those stupid girls
If they try to bring you down, it's 'cause they're scared and insecure
And 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
Ooh (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ah)
Ooh (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) ooh (ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh)
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
And after all, I will be right here for you
