I met a woman who was abused by her step-father. This song is from the viewpoint of the innocent future spouse.
Lyrics
To a little girl who plays with dolls. Daddy sits in a place of awe. She wants him to love her. The bedtime story doesn't end. Lights go out and the crime begins. And as the years go by the madness goes on Silently she endures it all. No one believes her even if she spoke out she'd loose and no one would win. Can I touch you without him touching you? Can I kiss you or do nightmares start? Is making love a beautiful thing? Or is it just salt in the wound? An eye for an eye, or turn the other cheek? Revenge can't replace what forgiveness can't erase, oh no. As we grow overcoming our fears. Patiently dry the crying eyes. Longing to trust defaulting to habits we can't break. Do you feel love, or feel rape?
