daisy sits near her house
she can’t force herself to go
her father, a drunkard
sits on the porch today
he lies and he tries to find a way to escape
he drinks and he cries all his problems away

framed by chains
daisy starts to pray
a long life left behind
she slaves to the grind
a life not worth living
she reaches for the sky
ask the Lord to help her
it’s all she’s got

at thirteen daisy runs away
her life has slipped so much
further and further away
dear Father come back and
take me away from this place
no mother to comfort her
today’s her day to pray

framed by chains
daisy starts to pray
a long life left behind
she slaves to the grind
a life not worth living
she reaches for the sky
ask the Lord to help her
it’s all she’s got

now daisy loves her daddy
but she seems to want him back
to the days when he told her
everything was ok
dear Father please help me
and save me from this place
i know that you can come
and you will save the day
