[Verse] She grabs her denim backpack Stumbles to the bus Another day at school Time to follow the rules Joins the crowd of nameless faces Hears whispers in the spaces Second-hand clothes she wears Thinks she'll never belong there [Chorus] She stops a moment to pray Hears his gentle voice say I'm right beside you daughter Child lift up your head I crown you with beauty And robe you in love Be still and hear me say You are my princess every day [Verse 2] The hallway feels like a storm Eyes down to keep her warm A thousand eyes she can't escape Every step feels out of place But in her heart she holds the words A melody only she has heard Her steps grow steady Sure And light Walking in a love so bright [Chorus] She stops a moment to pray Hears his gentle voice say I'm right beside you daughter Child lift up your head I crown you with beauty And robe you in love Be still and hear me say You are my princess every day [Bridge] The world might not see the crown But it’s shining Glowing now Invisible threads of grace Wrap her in a warm embrace No whispers No fear No lies She's walking with heaven's eyes [Chorus] She stops a moment to pray Hears his gentle voice say I'm right beside you daughter Child lift up your head I crown you with beauty And robe you in love Be still and hear me say You are my princess every day
