[Verse 1]
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 grew up too fast
And had 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 danger's all gone, you can come out

All that you've held is 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
Desperately singing
You're beautiful now
Laughter and tears, gracing your face
The music of your strength held up this place

Yet daddy's right here now, 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
Desperately singing
You're beautiful now

There's something I'm trying to tell you and
I've tried to tell you before and
Each time that I profess 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
