There's a time to talk about it A time to live it up A time to sit in silence A time to cry about it A time to laugh it up A time for stillness in the water Be, my daughter There's a time to shout about it A time to bottle up A time for all time to be over A time to think about it A time to give it up A time to burn up every altar Be, my daughter Tomorrow morning you'll be slowly waking up And I will be far across the water But I'll send reminders against the times it gets too tough Be, my daughter There's a time to want a love A time to need a friend A time to put your hurts behind you A time to chew it over A time to make amends You remember that time my baby jumped and daddy caught her Be, my daughter Be, my daughter
