Child, our daughter
Sit while we talk awhile
You’ve done no misdeed
Still they’ll put your life on trial

Born like your family
Far from any state of grace
You’re as perfect as the wind and sky
But they’ll treat you like your out of place

This world is cold
The power is with those who would judge and control
But we have a chance to make it right (For you)
This is what you’ll do

Show them how you smile
It’s only for a while
Take what you need
Leave them to bleed
Let them know bitter while
Your revenge is sweet

Keep the secret
Pretending your just like them
Live there, like a princess
In the kingdom of selfish men
Play their game now
Do what it takes to win
Take back all they keep from you
May you feel something beyond your skin

As you grow
You’ll gain from their knowledge
But your heart will know
When the time is right
To end the lie
You'll know what to do
When the charade is through

Show them how you smile
It’s only for a while
Take what you need
Leave them to bleed
Let them know bitter while
Your revenge is sweet

You might think that maybe their changing
You’ll pray think their hatred is waning
That’s when it hurts most to find
The story unfolds
And the cruelty’s exposed
You’ll be glad you’re not their kind

Show them how you smile
It’s only for a while
Take what you need
Leave them to bleed
Let them know bitter while
Your revenge is sweet
