I searched and searched and I finally found
The one I've been lookin for
And all you do is just open my wounds
I won't let you hang around!
Many you right from the first
I had an idea but I feared the worse
And now you're here, destroying my life
I won't let you take all I've worked for!

You knew who I was yet you still didn't find me
I was so confused; you had me searchin blindly
And now that I found you, you're gonna pay
I won't let you take my life away!

Cuz I, I grew up strong
You thought I'd be weak; but you were wrong
You wanna take away all I'll be
I won't let you do it, oh Daddy!

Then you, you knew who he was
You raised me right, that's only because
You knew what I'd be
Now you love me
But you can't see
That I see through your lies
Into your eyes
You can't hide
What you wanna do
But trust and believe: you won't make it through

Cuz I, I grew up strong
You thought I'd be weak; but you were wrong
You wanna take away all I'll be
I won't let you do it, oh Daddy!

You found a way to get me where
You want me to be, but I don't care
I'll rise up and accept my fate
A life with me, it's just too late
And now I'll rise
Into the skies
You won't even recognize
That I'm the girl you raised up
Always so sweet, but sometimes too rough
And you don't even know who I am
Or where I stand!

Cuz I, I grew up strong
You thought I'd be weak; but you were wrong
You wanna take away all I'll be
I won't let you do it, oh Daddy!

And now I say my final good-bye
You'll understand but you'll still ask why
Cuz in your heart you don't want to believe
I won't turn out the way you want me to be
And someday I hope you'll finally see
What you did to me, oh Daddy.
