Shield your daughter
The world’s gonna get her
Teach her what’s right and wrong
Tell her that your 神* is the one
But she must know magic isn’t real
Before even watching Frozen
She can’t hang out with “bad” kids
She ends up with your older friends
But she’s old enough now that
Her shield’s gonna crash down
Soon, she’ll find a different world
Full of alcoholics and drug users
Full of people who read Tarot cards
And full of people who scheme to live
Her shield’s gonna crash down, burn
And she’s gonna find it in ashes, scared
Let’s hope the fire doesn’t consume her

I wish the world was not like this – I have a daughter too and I want her to fly freely

I agree. The world is too mean sometimes. Everyone should be more free.

I have a seven year old daughter. I let her know what’s real, what’s not. I show her the bad and the good, tell her to be wary – sometimes of both…. if she asks me about something, I don’t say ‘because’ but I explain to her things that I hope she’ll remember, or ask again when she’s older. Maybe I’m raising her to be cynic, but I dont’ wish her shield to shatter with no perspective of the world ahead.

Sounds like you’re raising her the best way you know how. That’s all she could ask for.
