Wilhelmina
Willie, what can I say to youto hold true in your changing life?You've come into a cruel worldLittle girls can lose their way in the growing nightI hope you'll be alrightWillie, try to stay a child sometimeFor as long as you feel you can learnBabies all turn to peopleAnd people can really be strangeThey change and, changing, bring painTry to treat your parents well because they careAnd what more can you do?When you find your lovers, be good to themAs you hope they'll be to youBe honestBe trueWillie, you are the futureAll our lives, in the end are in your handsLife's hard now, you know it gets harderAnd hope is but a single strandWe pass it on and hope you'll understandWe know that we do it wrongSongtexteWe're not so strong and not so sure at allGroping in our blindnessWe may seem big now but, really, we're sosmall and alone and searching for a homein the nightMeanwhile you're still a babyYou'll be a lady soon enoughAnd then you will feel the burnSo hold my words, people all turn to childrenSpiteful children, and they're really so cruelCruel fools!Just follow your own rulesDon't think that I'm silly, WillieIf I say I hope that there is hope for you
