Tonic
Soldier’s Daughter (Acoustic)
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
It's the way he looks at you that says to me
This isn't over
From the outside lookin' in, you see there's nothing sacred here
Nothing sacred

[Pre-Chorus]
You can bend
But you can't break

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
You can bend
But you can't break
You can't break

[Chorus]
Hey, little girl, keep dancing
Hey-yeah, little girl, keep dancing alone
'Cause there's not enough time in your day to keep you here
[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Hey, little girl, keep dancing
Hey-yeah, little girl, keep dancing alone
'Cause there's not enough time in your life to stay here

[Outro]
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
