"Daughters"

Bm7 Em7 G D
I know a girl .
She puts the color inside of my world .
But she's just like a maze .
Where all of the walls all continually change
Bm7 Em7 G D
And I've done all I can .
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands .
Now I'm starting to see .
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me
Bm7 E7 G D
Fathers, be good to your daughters .
Daughters will love like you do .
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers .
So mothers, be good to your daughters too .

Oh, 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
Bm7 E7 G D
So fathers, be good to your daughters .
Daughters will love like you do, yeah .
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers .
So mothers, be good to your daughters too .

Boys, you can break .
You'll find out how much they can take .
Boys will be strong .
And boys soldier on .
But boys would be gone without warmth from .
A woman's good, good heart .

On behalf of every man .
Looking out for every girl .
You are the god and the weight of her world .
On behalf of every man .
Looking out for every girl .
You are the god and the weight of her world .
