What makes you happy
What makes you smile
And when you smile
Please, is it for real

I know you’re not one
One to pretend
Even when I was a child
You grow up too fast
And have to be brave
Braver than most strong men
That I’ve ever seen

Sing your song mama
Sing it out loud
I wanna hear your voice
It’s the loveliest sound

Little girl, you can come out now
The dangers all gone
You can come out
All that you’ve held
Was too much to hold
So let it all go now
And you will become gold

Sing your song mama
Sing it out loud
I wanna hear your voice
It’s the loveliest sound
Sing your song mama
Sing it out loud
Dance when you’re singing
You’re beautiful now

After the tears
Gracing your face
The music of your strength
Held up his place
Your daddy’s right here now
And you can let go
He’s holding it all now
And healing your soul

Sing your song mama
Sing it out loud
I wanna hear your voice
It’s the loveliest sound
Sing your song mama
Sing it out loud
Dance when you’re singing
You’re beautiful now


There’s something I’m trying to tell you and
I’ve tried to tell before and
Each time that I confess it
It just leaves me wanting more and
I think you are beautiful and I’m proud of you
What I’m trying to say is
I love you
I love you
