Eyes Wide Rosa Mae

A Bit More Better Productions

This is a song written for my daughter Rosa, who is 6 months old. It’s about indoctrination, but by the look of her when I sing it, I’m not sure she gets it.

Rosa darling Rosa Mae
I need to tell you about their games
Cos sad as it is they’ll try to win you over
And put the guilt onto your shoulders

Keep you eyes wide Rosa Mae (repeat)

Rosa darling Rosa Mae
Beware of tall tall tales
Cos if there’s a God why would he give you a mind
Just to ask you to ignore what it finds.
Keep your eyes wide Rosa Mae

Rosa darling Rosa Mae
Keep an eye out and one eye on truth
And believe me when I say
That you can bet they got their eye on you
When you’re low
That’s when they’ll show
You the way
But the price you pay
Is a lifelong stain
And girl ya don’t need saving

Rosa darling Rosa Mae
I need to tell you about their games
Cos sad as it is they’ll try to win you over
And but the guilt onto your shoulders
Keep your eyes wide Rosa Mae.
