We will feed her her dreams

Of the wife she could be

We will always say "I"

She will always say "we"

.

And on every screen

We'll be playing the lead

Together picture the man

She can help us to be

.

She will fill a dress well

She'll feel pretty in pink

We've poisoned every well

Watch her lips when she drinks

.

A good woman lifts up

A good mother feeds

The men who create,

Build, heal and lead

.

(Better build the walls high

Better dig the moat deep

In case she wakes)

.

She'll hold tight to a love

Who will help her believe

She's almost good enough

A girl can always dream

.

To leave a good girl behind

Is what it takes to be free

She may shed a few tears

Recall her ever so sweet

.

She'll be left with her doubts

On an endless replay

Wonder where she fell short

Why your voice still narrates

Why your voice still narrates

.

She stands tall on her feet

And she starts to shake

You had better get clear

In case she wakes
