Soldier's Daughter

Tonic

It's the way he looks at you



That says to me



This isn't over



From the outside looking in



You see there's nothing sacred here



Nothing sacred



You can bend



But you can't break



For the reasons out of our control



You try to make it roll



Like a dice away



But you say that you're all empowered here



This is obviously not clear enough



To me



You can bend



But you can't break



Hey little girl keep dancing



Hey little girl keep dancing alone



'Cause there's not enough time in your day



To keep you here



The soldier's daughter



Did your daddy



Did your daddy hurt you



Did he make you feel bad



Did he poison your views



With the water he was raised on



Oh your father's son says hang on



Hang on



Hey little girl



Keep dancing



Hey little girl



Keep dancing alone



'Cause there's not enough time in your life



To stay here



So over the hills he'd climb



Just to see her there in time



Just to watch the sun shine through her dress



The sweet soldier's daughter



The sweet soldier's daughter
