I
Young woman huddled in a dark corner
Shielding adult doubts and mature deceits
Hands grabbing, weighing down her frail shoulder
Eating her hope, leaving her love in streets
Live your whole life knowing that you will die
Furrow your brow, worrying death will be
Give your whole heart knowing he’ll make you cry
Play your defense caring naught about me
End every day with a slap in your face
Reality is life; you have no choice
Forget his touch, his sweet scent, and his taste
Follies and daydreams should not include boys
All these commands are only for your good
Young girl, your fantasy’s misunderstood.
II
Young woman leaps on her soapbox today
Defending her love and her future plan
Hands now support the words she did say
Praising her hope, finding love in that man
Live your whole life knowing tomorrow’s come
Share your own smile because it’s worth something
Give your whole heart knowing he is the one
Love for today is a blessing to bring
End every day with a prayer to our God
Reality is love; it’s destiny
Savor his eyes, his sweet drawl, and his bod
Daydreams aren’t follies- they’re faith to believe
All these wishes are recipes in life
Young girl, in this way, you will be his wife. |
