Hold on to your love,
But don't hold on too tight
And death is just a word we use to counter life
We blame it on the dove,
When we cannot be free
We curse the stars above and say the rosary
So take her by the hand,
Tell her truths and lies,
And love her while you can, before she learns to fly
And try to understand
She has not gone wild
Though she's your little girl, she is not a child anymore
Her heart and mind are strong,
She wants to make a change
No one's in the wrong, no need to rearrange
Her love is always there,
A simple state of mind
So join her if you care -- the truth is in her eyes
The truth is in her eyes, in her eyes
