Daughter of the day, child of the light
Put hope like a robe around your shoulders
Every street you tread, every path you take
Your footprints leave the world a little brighter
So hold your head up high
Keep your heart awake
Beneath wide open skies
You'll illuminate
Daughter of the day
Apple of my eye, treasure of my heart
Keep the fire aflame as you go forward
Don't hide the light away
Keep it on display
Be a candle in the dark to those around you
Hold your head up high
Keep your heart awake
Beneath wide open skies
You'll illuminate
Daughter of the day
And I will always be here
I'm cheering you on
My beloved
I'm waiting to welcome you home
And there's no darkness too deep, no distance too wide
My love can't find you
And there's nothing above and nothing below
That could every separate us
Hold your head up high
Keep your heart awake
Beneath wide open skies
You'll illuminate
Daughter of the day
