With the morning sun And the danger done I'm a wasted life All I own I owe to you When my mourning takes All those boughs we break I can make it right All the while, all the while Because I'm worth defending I'm workin' on another try Oh, I'm worth defending Mama, won't you show me why Ooh why All these darkened days Disheartening games we play Please no more hating lies I'm just a child I'm your child Oh, I'm worth defending I'm workin' on another try Oh, I'm worth defending Daddy, don't you make me cry All those times you told me I'm the one to throw away You were wrong I had to take the time to let you make your own mistakes You know I still belong Oh I still belong All I know, I feel it deep in my heart I don't wanna fight I need you here to life me through my sorrows And I will rise, oh rise Because I'm worth defending I'm workin' on another try Oh, I'm worth defending Mama won't you show me why Oh, I'm worth defending I'm workin' on another try Oh, I'm worth defending Daddy don't you make me cry
