Momma's Pearl
Daddy's special little girl
They taught her to be strong
So where did they go wrong?
They used to tell her
Always be honest, it's right to be true
Accept who you are and be happy you're you
Never do anything you know you shouldn't do
Trust me – I've been through everything you're going through
Yes they always tried to pull her free
of every evil in the world and every tear she might see
They offered everything, but they paid the price
because the only thing she never really took was their advice
Return to love
That's all she wants to do
To the days when she believed that dreams could really come true
Return to life
When just dreamin would do
For a taste of what she had and all the love she once knew
One fine day
Fell in love and lost her way
And saying no
Became a difficult thing to say
Her friends would tell her
Lately when we've been looking into your eyes
We've been seeing a person we don't recognise
reach out your hand, don't run and hide
because you may be alive but you're dying inside
And as she weeps in the night
And wonders will everything be alright
With a picture in her mind
Of days, when happiness held her tight
Return to love
That's all she wants to do
To the days when she believed that dreams could really come true
Return to life
When just dreamin would do
For a taste of what she had and all the love she once knew
