V-1
Little five year old girl sitting down on the sand, watching the clouds go by.
She's got one toe in the water and her face's lit with a smile, lifting her hands up to the sky.
But the next thing that she knows before her dad yells 'it's time to go', there's something that went too wrong.
When she looks back to the sky, this little girl so shy, washed away, she's trying to be strong.

Bridge-1
A miracle from up above just gave a little shove, the little girl opens up her eyes.
Mom and Dad both crying, the girl says she was flying, and before she had said her goodbyes... he'd said

Chorus-1
Come my precious daughter, I know you're underwater, but right now is not your time to go.
I'll take you to the surface and there you'll find your purpose, take this chance I'm giving you to grow.
Take every moment like it matters before it completely shatters, there's something to you I've got to show.
But for now you've got a family, friends, you have a home, I'll see you next when your times get low.

V-2
Little five year old girl is now nine years down the road, lights and cameras all on her.
Little red flowers are thrown up to the bowers, she catches one and shows another smile.
She sees him in the crowd, she waves to him so proud, he shows her to the side so she can see.
She walks away crying, everything's so blinding, she yells to him for him to let her be.

Bridge-2
He follows her to the house and as she takes off the blouse, a dagger is driven through her heart.
He whispers that he's sorry and that he's always worried, but for now he's done his part... she hears

Chorus

V-3
Little fourteen year old girl is now five years down the road, tears are filling up her eyes.
The little face staring back is the something she had lacked, after she had said all those goodbyes.
The proud father takes her hand, the girl's reminded of the sand, back when she was washed away.
She knew the bundle in her arms would have all of her old charms, life was the game she was 'bout to play.

Bridge-3
Three years later this little girl looks down from the sky at her, the father's pushing her on the backyard swing.
She looks up to her Father and she says, 'is it truly the time for me to be?'... and he smiled.

V-4
Little five year old girl sitting down by the sand, watching the clouds roll by.
One toe in the water, face shows her mother's smile, she reaches her hands up to the sky.
Her mother from up above spreads around her girl her love, the little girl closes up her eyes.
The father gives a smile and he sits down for a while, he whispers a short goodbye.

Bridge-4
The girl looks back to Dad then starts crawling down the sand, says 'Daddy, no, please don't cry.'
He looks down to his daughter and then back over to the water, he can see his love in his eyes... he says

Chorus-2
Come my precious daughter, go have fun in the water, now is not the time to go.
I know your mother loved you and every moment held true, I know that she wanted you to grow.
Watch the things that matter and never let it shatter, there's something to you I've got to show.
It's the promise that I'm here and that I hold you dear, I won't let your times get low.

Ending
And the girl felt her mother's smile.
