This father's love he cherishes To be her dad is wonderful But he'll regret, she carelessly Without a fear of what's to come Scared them so, the cost is pain 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 The young, they choose And so they should They reach for stars, however lonesome 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 find out what parents say is true To find their voice in life
