we're coming to a standstill
you think you're magic with your strong will
but this is love and not justice

he's hurting everything he touches
you cannot carry what he clutches
he needs a mother and confession

and he does not tell you you are precious

well how about some love and clarity
a sense that you are family
I'd like to help but you're on fire

how about some peace and honesty
some hard-core hope and clarity
you are a precious girl on fire

we're coming to a standstill
i think you're magic with your strong will
but this is love and not justice

he's hurting everything he touches
you cannot carry what he clutches
he needs a father and some healing

and he forgets his own words

well how about some love and charity
a sense that you are family
you are a precious girl on fire

how about respect and dignity
some hard-core hope and clarity
you are a precious girl on fire

and there is so much in forgiveness
but he is sticking with his business

how about some love and charity
a sense that you are family
you are a precious girl on fire

you are a careful mystery
not someone's cheap commodity
you are a precious girl on fire
