Beautiful Prize Lyrics - Rick Springfield

The father giveth, and the father taketh away 

Johanna prays in her bed 

He drinks his beer to the TV chatter 

Thinks dark thoughts in his head 

When the house that he keeps with his hard won pay 

Is finally asleep after his brutal day 

He turns his eyes on his beautiful prize 

Johanna watches her door open just a crack 

And a hand that once held her runs down the length of her back 

Her fallen angel lies down on her bed 

So much confusion in her beautiful head 

Johanna closes her eyes

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

In a house full of secrets the truth doesn't matter 

Johanna buries her shame and dreams of redemption 

They just scatter, she grows numb to the pain 

She can't remember how it was before 

And she doesn't know who she is anymore 

She's in disguise as his Beautiful Prize 

Johanna watches her life from the outside 

And she dreams that one day she'll fly free from this mess 

She's a hawk trying to soar with a broken wing 

And she doesn't talk anymore about anything 

She just closes her eyes 

She just can't stand his anger, she just can't bear his heat 

She takes a long hard look at life on the street, yeah 

In a house full of secrets the truth doesn't matter 

And any dreams of salvation, they just shatter
