Daddy, don't you see?

Don't you see;

don't you see how hard she's trying?

To impress you,

to be the best for you.

To push herself,

to give her all.

 

Don't you see;

don't you see how hard she works?

Even when her body hurts,

even when she's sick and tired;

even when her mind's on fire.

 

Don't you see?

 

I do.

I see, and I believe

in her;

and everything that she gives.

 

I see the desire, the want, the try...

 

the impossible.

 

All she wants to do is make you proud.

Daddy,

Don't you see?
