Last night you had a dream you was the homecoming queen
Today you're 18, happy birthday, I regret School you had to drop out to raise your little child
You got to reach up to touch rock bottom The powers that be keep you downtrod
Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayer 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 give you strength tomorrow
Your Calvary's about to come so Keep your head up, don't you ever let up
The storm will pass, you'll be ready for the next one

Irene, I carried you when you was too weak to walk
I took to you when you gave your heart to God
Faithful and true, that's what I'll always be to you
Believe in you, believe in me And these mountains have to move

And wear it every day Rest in me and I will give you strength
Blessed is she, Irene, who seeks my faith
