Encouraging my daughter
Hold on tight to what you believe, the ideas you hold are worth it
Don’t keep tears in, wear your heart on your sleeve, the ideas you hold are worth it
Those that don’t care, they are okay to leave, the ideas you hold are worth it
For those you’ve lost, continue to grieve, the ideas you hold are worth it.
Don’t ever doubt all that you can achieve, the ideas you hold are worth it
From me pure love is what you’ll always receive
No matter how wrong or right they may be
The ideas you hold are worth it
