Daughter, I once thought that I had angels in my room
They were sleeping on my fan while I was dreaming of you
And daughter, I once had such desire to believe
That our lives had been planned out by an unseen deity,
But you don't have to waste your time holding on to beautiful lies
Daughter, I once knew that everything that I believed
Was good, and fair, and true, and consistent with my needs
But daughter, I am wrong almost as often as I'm right
So daughter, just be strong enough to make up your own mind
Because you don't have to waste your time, holding on to beautiful lies
They were sleeping on my fan while I was dreaming of you
And daughter, I once had such desire to believe
That our lives had been planned out by an unseen deity,
But you don't have to waste your time holding on to beautiful lies
Daughter, I once knew that everything that I believed
Was good, and fair, and true, and consistent with my needs
But daughter, I am wrong almost as often as I'm right
So daughter, just be strong enough to make up your own mind
Because you don't have to waste your time, holding on to beautiful lies
