Your dicatated everyday
They tell you what to do
What to believe
What not to believe
They tell you how to act
And they tell you who
You can see
Or speak to and whom
You may not
You never had that with me
I tried to make you free
To open your eyes to new possibilities
I hope one day
You'll be free
Without them guiding you
I hope one day
Your eyes will open
And instead of being molded
To suit them you'll mold yourself
Into who you want to be
And I hope you see
That I loved you
For the person you were
Not someone I wanted you to be.
