One Day
One day
I will attempt to explain to my little girl
The inevitable battle we all face in growing up
Where we must strap on our best battle boots
And our helmets
And jump head first day after dreadful day
One day
I will tell my little girl;
You will be struck with the arrow of love
And when you least expect it
You will feel as if your heart is soaring
Higher than any butterfly can reach
But remember my darling,
This is a battle
And there are no butterflies here.

And jump head first day after dreadful day
One day

You will be struck with the arrow of love
And when you least expect it
You will feel as if your heart is soaring
Higher than any butterfly can reach
But remember my darling,
This is a battle
And there are no butterflies here.
