Lyrics

I remember the day
My father buried me
Disappointment in his eyes
Was all that I could see

I know that it was too hard
For him to believe
That I could raise a child on my own
and still have everything

But my feet are made for fire
And my hands are made to bleed
My heart was made to love and break
He raised me with steel wings

So go ahead and bury me
Dig deep into the ground
Cause I'm my father's daughter
And we never stay down, stay down

I remember the day
We knocked on his door
Five years had passed and
I wanted him to meet my little girl

I could see the regret
When he looked down at her
He said I should've known
That your wings were gonna soar

Cause my feet are made for fire
And my hands are made to bleed
My heart was made to love and break
He raised me with steel wings

So go ahead and bury me
Dig deep into the ground
Cause I'm my father's daughter
And we never stay down, stay down

You grow up
and life goes so different than we plan
But I'm not scared as long
as I remember who I am

So go ahead and bury me
Dig deep into the ground
Cause I'm my father's daughter
And we never stay down

So go ahead and bury me
Dig deep into the ground
Cause I'm my father's daughter
And we never stay down, stay down
