''Get up and bite down''that's what I tell herwhen she's on the floor.''Life's happening now''that's what I tell herwhen she's off the wall.
And when she paints on her faceI remind her, and I say:''That's not make up, that's war paint.''
And when they geton her caseI remind her,and I say:''They don't matter, they're in pain.''
''Sit down and face up''that's what I tell herwhen she's running off.''Life's hard but you're tough'''that's what I tell herwhen she's feeling soft.
Because she isdiamond hardand growing upcement strong.My mirror image,The Amazon.
