Hush hush oh my girl child
How can your voice be louder than the world?
Your birth brought happiness to some
While bitterness visited others
Your gurgling giggles spread glee
Especially when you try to ruffle your features.
Hush hush oh my girl child
How can you dream of flying higher in the world?
You are a teen, dress up right!
Learn to be gentle and compassionate
Any question raised by you
Will only bring accusation of being abdicate.
Hush hush oh my girl child
Keep your head down, don't call out the wrongs of the world!
Yes, now that you are older,
Do you understand why you are brought up different?
The watchful stares, the men that leer
And not to mention the unwanted touches that become apparent.
Hush hush oh my girl child
Keep quite and don't bother to fight the world.
You can be as old as you wish to be
Be it the colourful teens or greying years
Or be it those decades of making careers
You are to live under constant fears.
Hush hush oh my girl child
I am sorry for not giving you a safer world.
