Last night you had dream you was the homecoming queen
Today your 18, Happy Birthday Irene
Quit school you had to drop out to raise your little child
(doesn't seem to be anyone around)
You got to reach up to touch rock bottom
The powers that be keep you downtrodden
Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayers
Just cast your cares and
Please beware of snakes
They come in all shapes and sizes
Tempt you, put scales on your eyelids
Don't waste your sorrows
They'll give you strength for tomorrow
Your Calvary's about to come so
Keep your head up, Don't you ever let up
This storm will pass you be ready for the next one
Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders
Don't say that its over
I heard your prayers
Just cast your cares
And I'll be there, so don't you fear
