Daughters

Daughters
I know a guy
He puts the color inside of my sky
But he's just like a maze
Where all of the walls are
Continually changed
And I've done all I can
To stand on the steps with
My heart in my hand
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

So, fathers, be good to your daughters
And daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So, mothers, be good to your daughters, too
Boy, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made
So, fathers, be good to your daughters
And daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So, mothers, be good to your daughters, too
Boys you can break
You find out how much they can take
But boys will be strong
And boys don't do wrong
But boys would be gone without warmth for
A woman's heart, yeah, yeah
'Cause on behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world
So, fathers, be good to your daughters
And daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So, mothers, be good to your daughters, too
So, mothers, be good to your daughters, too
So, mothers, be good to your daughters, too
