And he kept you there
In the nook behind the vanity
Kept you for his
Didn’t want anyone else to see
But dear child
Isn’t is cold in his shadow?
Isn’t it painful being chained?
He keeps you there to show you
In his own special way of loving
The love whose pleasureful pain
Leaves you to cry at night
Baby, that’s not life
That’s him living for you
So dry your tears and pull your chin up sweetie
Let him see
That his shadow is not your home
And when you take that first step
Towards tomorrow and towards the sun
I hope you know
That you’ll never walk alone
