Wilhelmina |
| Willie, what can I say to you |
| To hold true in your changing life? |
| You’ve come into a cruel world; |
| Little girls can lose their way in the growing night… |
| I hope you’ll be alright |
| Willie, try to stay a child sometime |
| For as long as you feel you can learn |
| Babies all turn to people |
| And people can really be strange; |
| They change and, changing, bring pain |
| Try to treat your parents well because they care |
| And what more can you do? |
| When you find your lovers, be good to them |
| As you hope they’ll be to you — |
| Be honest |
| Be true |
| Willie, you are the future; |
| All our lives, in the end are in your hands |
| Life’s hard now; |
| you know it gets harder |
| And hope is but a single strand: |
| We pass it on and hope you’ll understand… |
| We know that we do it wrong |
| We’re not so strong and not so sure at all; |
| Groping in our blindness |
| We may seem big now but, really, we’re so |
| Small and alone and searching for a home |
| In the night |
| Meanwhile you’re still a baby; |
| You’ll be a lady soon enough |
| And then you will feel the burn |
| So hold my words: people all turn to children |
| Spiteful children, and they’re really so cruel |
| Cruel fools! |
| Just follow your own rules… |
| Don’t think that I’m silly, Willie |
| If I say I hope that there is hope for you |
