Lyrics
THE FOUNDRYMAN?S DAUGHTER
They laughed at your past and the town you were born in
Laughed when you spoke of your romantic dreams
They made you feel small in the biggest of cities
Friendship it seems isn?t all that it seems
They laughed at the hopes of the father that loved you
Foundryman?s girl in a smoke covered town
Where life had been hard for this King and his Princess
With no silver spoons and no golden ball gowns
But be who you are
And be proud of where you?ve come from
Be true to yourself
And be true to those that wish all that?s best for you
Don?t ever forget you?re as good as the next man
And better than most when you know who you are
You?ve made your own way
Earned the things that surround you
Houses and land and a seamless blue sky
But you won?t forget how to treat those around you
Foundryman?s girl with such steel in her eye.
You know who you are
And you?re proud of where you?ve come from
You?rs true to yourself
And you?re true to those who wish all that?s best for you
Don?t ever forget you?re as good as the next man
And better than most when you know who you are.
