Daughters barelybreathing: Daughters
(John Mayer)
I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
She's just like a maze
Where all the walls all continually change
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
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 shes been standing in
Since the day she was him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made
So 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
Boys you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soilder on
But boys would be gone without warmth for a womans good, good heart
On behalf of every man, looking out for every girl
You are the god, and you are the weight of the world
On behalf of every man, looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of the world
So 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
Daughters ChristyM: Good song -- did you see the one I posted for you on the other thread?
Christy
Re:Daughters barelybreathing: I did.......thanks!
To me, the above song has so much meaning. We don't realize as adults/parents, what role we play in our children's life. It's so important that we develop ourselves as strong, moral adults so that our children absorb that in their developmental years.
I worry that b/c my daughter's father is not around, she may either grow to look to other men for that father figure in a co-dependent manner or not trust them at all.
It will require extra work on my part, I know.
