You were born and your father wept
begged the deity above all
to let you feel his love
On knees he bent and broke
for the smile that would come across
your face innocent and pure
Made you feel like a princess
around shambles
because he always wanted better for you
When time passed as uncontrollably as it does
he gave you distance and respected the change
As you became wise to being a woman.
Still loving and idolising
His laws became strict and confining
And you would rebel
For years that saw no end.
Love conquers us all
Makes us weak and trivial.
And now dear Mother
See it in your sons face
and let it remind you
There are no fathers made
Unless a mother loves us.

You were born and your father wept
begged the deity above all
to let you feel his love
On knees he bent and broke
for the smile that would come across
your face innocent and pure
Made you feel like a princess
around shambles
because he always wanted better for you
When time passed as uncontrollably as it does
he gave you distance and respected the change
As you became wise to being a woman.
Still loving and idolising
His laws became strict and confining
And you would rebel
For years that saw no end.
Love conquers us all
Makes us weak and trivial.
And now dear Mother
See it in your sons face
and let it remind you
There are no fathers made
Unless a mother loves us.
