Naima's Love Song
His daughter's love he cherishes
To be her dad is wonderful
But youth they play, so carelessly
Without a fear of what's to come
It scares him so, the chance they take
Naima's love song, life is hers alone
To learn, to be, to see, to give, to take
And to find what grown up life is really all about
To find her voice in life
Teenagers' love, so blindly free
Life which they move into a love song
They will make big mistakes
Naima knows her dad will understand
Because she is his baby girl
He knows she's unaware
What life and all its pitfalls has in store
And he'll help her find her way
She's growing fast
And needs him so
He understands and keeps encouraged
For her, he wants a better world
He knows that he can't live a lie
Just be there when she needs a hug
That he might have to choose a way for her
To live, to lie, to lie, to live and try
And find a way
To conquer all the challenges she'll face and find
Her happiness
The young, they choose
And so they should
They reach for stars, out of a love song
It's not an easy thing
For youth to concentrate on what is best
Too much of this, too much of that
They think that they are wise
And soon find out what parents say is true
To find their voice in life
