Daughters
I know a girlShe puts the color inside of my worldBut she's just like a mazeWhere all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I canTo stand on the steps with my heart in my handNow I'm starting to seeMaybe it's got nothing to do with me
Fathers be good to your daughtersDaughters will love like you doGirls become lovers who turn into mothersSo mothers be good to your daughters too
Ohh, you see that skinIt's the same she's been standing inSince the day she saw him walking awayNow she's left cleaning up the mess he made
So fathers be good to your daughtersDaughters will love like you doGirls become lovers who turn into mothersSo mothers be good to your daughters too
Boys you can breakYou find out how much they can takeBoys will be strong and boys soldier onBut boys would be gone without warmth fromA woman's good, good heart
On behalf of every manLooking out for every girlYou are the God and theWeight of her world
So fathers be good to your daughtersAnd daughters will love like you doGirls become lovers who turn into mothersSo mothers be good to your daughters tooSo mothers be good to your daughters tooSo mothers be good to your daughters too
