[Verse 1]
Hey Aloy, I remember when you were a little girl
Hurled in this fickle world, riddled with the brittle churl
Of individuals treating you like a criminal
Invisible, a literal outcast, a miracle to me
It was critical you completed the ritual
To bring your name from the spiritual to the physical
It was typical that the whole village would attend
The naming ceremony, then again they would not amend
Or bend any rule we're condemned and cannot ascend
But we had eachother, you and I to the bitter end!
Mother and a father figure, proper giver, never wither
Guard you to my last breath, quivers and my body rigors
You were so curious, honestly made me furious
But I love your adventurous side that made you spurious
It led you to fight for the truth of your reality
You'd train valiantly and get the answers for your family

[Chorus]
A fathers work is never done, it's never won
Only keeps going, keeps growing, keeps showing that I'll never run
A daughter, never find a better one
And when it gets tough just remember how it all begun
A fathers work is never done, it's never won
Only keeps going, keeps growing, keeps showing that I'll never run
A daughter, never find a better one
And when it gets tough just remember how it all begun
[Verse 2]
I remember very clearly when you came to me
With blatancy, wearing that focus so brazenly
I chalked it up to a child's toy hastily
Until you proved me wrong and saved another life thankfully
A day I won't forget, it's when I knew you could do anything
You put your mind to what you wouldn't do's the scary thing
I knew at that point I had to teach how to fend for life
Teach you to survive in this world of forever strife
Harness your will, harvest the kill, hardest to build
The skill set to target a kill large as a hill
Harshest and shrill, the training kept marching still
Til your heart caught up with your body, made the hardest will
You were ready, the proving ground upon us
I had kept my promise as a father, taken you from novice
Cannon fodder to a girl of honor, goddess of the strings
Now take what you've learned from me, go to better things
