You only have the best in mind
You know the world can be so unkind
Working day and night you don't have time
Do you think she does what you say
Every minute of every day
Do you think if she's kept busy she'll stay in line?
How did you miss it?
Her rose-colored glasses.
She doesn't need it!
You never thought she'd tell a lie
Though she says a year has gone by
See the conviction in her eyes
Give her a sword to save your lives
Witness her growth, you know what to do
Her needs have changed, and so should you
Let her go, she can take care of herself
You will be there if she needs any help
How did you miss it?
Rose-colored glasses
She doesn't need it!
You have to believe it.
How did you miss it?
No longer passive
She's assertive
You never thought she'd tell a lie
Though she says a year has gone by
See the conviction in her eyes
Give her a sword to save your lives
Just let her try
Are you proud of your daughter
She's becoming more than you could've asked for
Now that you've seen what she can do
You need to let your angel spread her wings
You never thought she'd tell a lie
Though she says a year has gone by
See the conviction in her eyes
Give her a sword to save your lives
Just let go and let her try
