Soldiers Daughter

by jaki   Jun 20, 2007


You're the soldiers daughter you have to be strong
Just remember to keep holding on
Little girl keep dancing all alone on that stage
Because you are the soldiers daughter
You're the soldiers daughter
Little girl keep singing in your fathers cage

Even when the world seems to get too rough
When you are alone and the bars become too tough
Remember there is always another way
Out of your fathers firm grasp
Your Fathers grasp
You must overcome this sweet cliche

When it feels like the spotlight is only on you
And you're meant to entertain his needs without a clue
Being the soldiers daughter becomes too much to handle
And the world slowly gets darker
The world gets darker
Just blow out the light on your sweet scented candle

The deepest blue from your teary eyes turn black
As you tell yourself this time you'll fight back
But sometimes its easier to agree than fight
So lower your head and accept it one more time
Lower your head and accept it one more time
Because you still have to survive one more night

The heartache and pressure of being the soldiers daughter
Cannot be fulfilled by any means of slaughter
You were meant to be the one he loved and cherished
But not even angels can fly without wings
Even angels cant fly without wings
And all your dreams have eventually perished

There is always a way out of his devilish ways
Just look him in the eye and meet his gaze
Pretend that you are all right and please him one last time
Before saying goodnight to a deadly sin
Say goodnight to a deadly sin
And end your life with one final crime
