A Daughter's Wish

Oh I wish you could understand 
It feels like we're not even on the same land. 

I thought happiness for me was the way 
But you feel like I've traveled astray. 

You'll never accept my life you state 
So, far way, I'll always wait. 

With your mind and soul you showed me the way 
And I live by all the things you say. 

Allow yourself to come out of the gate 
Free yourself of the anger and hate. 

Love me freely and treat me dear 
I'm happy now daddy and you have nothing to fear
