Story Behind The Song
My daughter Lindsay who I am so proud of. She graduated from College is married with a child... and though she struggled, she never quit.
Song Description
My daughter was having a tough time in school. Her best friend abandoned her and joined the chorus of kids making fun of her because of a large birthmark that surgery did not helped. She struggled in school, and was afflicted with noticeable ticks. One day I walked by her room and she was crying. She didn't know it by I heard her ask why she is the way she is. It broke my heart. This song can touch others who are just growing up, having a hard time and it is a song of understanding and encouragement.

Lyrics
A Reason You Are My Princess
From the moment that I first saw you
The bond was set for life
Could've sworn the sun shining
On that snowy winter night
You have questions that I can't answer
I've listened when you are alone
You say that you wish you were different
But there's something I want you to know
There's a reason you are my princess
Wouldn't want you any other way
Don't let yourself be troubled
By what others do or say
There's a reason you are my princess
Wouldn't want you any other way
When you feel the world is against you
I'm here for you everyday
I know how it feels to be left out
By those I thought were my friends
I recall how I tried to fit in
That was too much to ask of them
You have what it takes be patient
You'll make it if you never quit
And some day when I'm just a memory
I hope that you'll never forget
There's a reason you are my princess
Wouldn't want you any other way
Don't let yourself be troubled
By what others do or they say
There's a reason you are my princess
I am sure it's part of His plan
Being blessed with a wonderful daughter
Has made me a better man
Just be gentle and kind to that angel in the mirror that looks back at you..
It's not easy to smile when you're hurting? I know I've walked in your shoes
