The story
A father’s advice to my daughter Melissa. Words I wrote to stay with her on the day I can no longer be at her side; a testament.
Lyrics
Verse 1
People will lie, they'll cheat and they'll break you,
Don't be naive; don’t let ‘em deceive your mind.
Face the tempest, but remember what I've told you,
In the wreckage, your inner light you'll always find.
Chorus
One day you’ll recognize
Bitter truths from pretty lies
Learn to never compromise
Making your own way in life
Verse 2
Life’s a battlefield, there's no denying,
Treachery and deceit hide in every turn.
But hear my words,
Melissa, stop your crying,
Through every scar and wound, life's lessons you'll discern.
Chorus
One day you’ll recognize
Bitter truths from pretty lies
Learn to never compromise
Making your own way in life
