I Am the Daughter

Bad day today
Had some issues with a friend
Mommy, will you sit down and talk with me?
I need your help
Could you give me some advice?
Is there something you see that I don’t see?
Help me, please
He walks into my room
As I put on my makeup
He smiles at me with a puzzled look on his face
«Why do you do it? You know you’re such a pretty girl.»
Daddy, I’m just growing up like all girls do, can’t you see?
But I still need you to worry about me
I am the daughter of a hard working man
I am the daughter of a mom who holds me close
And I am the daughter of two people who believe in me
And I love thm so
They always taught me to be polit and be strong
Don’t follow, be the one who leads the others
And now here I stand before you singing their song
Mmm
I know they will love me
Even after they are gone
I am the daughter of a hard working man
I am the daughter of a mom who holds me close
And I am the daughter of two people who believe in me
And I love them so
BRIDGE:
Tough times will happen
But why would they not?
The good times will always be there
And forget them I will not
I am the daughter of a hard working man
I am the daughter of a mom who holds me close
And I am the daughter of two people who believe in me
Who believe in me
And I love them so
I love them so
