You were born at the start without your dark lonely heart
How you'd dance ever so fine, let our love stop the reel of time
You stood up to the haters with your rebel behaviour
The voice cried foul to its saviour;
"That poor girl can't be saved I fear"
As the world watched blindly and the church didn't take too kindly
What was once at stake would scarcely break the jewel in my crown
Never took for granted golden seeds that were planted
Thought we're cast adrift by wayward myths, true beauty will be found
Now you've weathered by travels, in the thorns you unravel
So I warn, please be careful of this world that is run by rules
From my womb bore the sacred, and my heart eased the hatred
May your faith never falter, carry me down, my one daughter
As the world watched blindly and the church didn't take too kindly
What is now at stake can only ache the jewel in my crown
Never took for granted golden seeds that I planted
Thought I'm cast adrift by timeless myths, true beauty will be found
Lay me in my bed of gold, say a prayer for my soul
Wash me in the waves that roll, leave my life, I'll be alone tonight
Pretty Willow, please be bold, Mother Mercy warm the cold
Tell the tale that must be told
But how I love you baby, Keep that in mind
'Cos you don't even know it, half the time
Oh how I love you baby, Keep that in mind
'Cos you don't even know it, half the time
