Saw you the other night and couldn't recognise
Till you said hello and called out hi
It's true, your manners haven't failed
And I hear how hard you work
But perhaps the world may have failed you
But I still call out for you to hear me
Why it happened this way, I still ask how
Sometimes, I wonder who to blame
The home, or the church values gone lame
Cause things are not the same
Who chose what we became?
You've come into your own like a ripe flower
You see the changes how they look at you
You feel the power you hold over men
You're happy how you lord over them
You expose yourself and look at the floor
There you go acting all demure
You're strong like freshly baked flour
You revel in the love they shower on you
But we can't be beautiful forever in the flesh
It's our virtue that lives forever after
You're the queen that men adore
They're all busy knocking on your door
Each one professing candor
Don't become too open a door
You skulk and hide like a dog's behind
But this life can no one rewind
You're in your element where no one can see
You're the talk of the town behind your back
Your friends talk about your escapades
I've disliked people because of you
You're bold and you flaunt your power
But who am I not to love you?
I dislike everything I've come to see,
But who am I to not love you?
Has there been anyone who really told you?
Has there been one to really show you?
Time goes and this I can't exhaust
But you should know I'm rooting for you
That you find wisdom quite early
And you all come to act fairly
You were failed by what came before
Of this I'm well informed...
I wish I could speak directly to your soul
Consider this a wholesome bowl
You've grown quite fairly, my lady
But beauty can fade quite early..
But who can I blame?
Our passions are like flames
Like rings they come to claim
Only in God are we the same
And virtue will stand you in good stead
Sometimes, I wonder if we could have done more
Considering all that came before
What will the future become?
