Lyrics
OH, DAUGHTER
Oh, daughter
Where’s the sunshine?
I see how deep the valley you’re in
Though blackened clouds and fields of trouble
Won’t you let the smiles come again
Oh, daughter
Undone hero
I know it’s hard for you to cope
Through sleepless nights and heartache mornings
Some words to bring you hope
You can’t stop the rain
From falling on you
You can’t stop the world spinning you
But when these trials seem far from over
You can dance and they can’t stop you
Moments
Beautiful chances
Don’t let another one slip away
When something good it becomes your calling
Take a step and you’re on your way
Hard times
And the good times too
And all the times that come between
It builds the soul and it’ll break your heart
You know strength is what it means
You can’t stop the rain
From falling on you
You can’t stop the world spinning you
But when these trials seem far from over
You can dance and they can’t stop you
You can’t stop the rain
From falling on you
You can’t stop the world spinning you
But when these trials seem far from over
You can dance and they can’t stop you
