Daughter

What is my body worth to you
Without your blood in it
Is my story worth the read
Without your name on it
Where you find me at the bottom of a lake
What a headline that would make

There’s never been a better time to be alive
The arms of opportunity are spread wide
I wanna be a part of you but it’s not enough
If I gave you a daughter would you open up

Oh, to be like Mary full of grace
You’d be worshipping my body and my brain
'Cause I know you never take me at my word
It’s always something you’ve already heard
Why can’t I show you this side of me
And prove to you who I could be

There’s never been a better time to be a wife
I wanna show you something you can’t memorize
I wanna teach you baby but you’re all grown up
If I gave you a daughter would it be enough

Don’t call me sister victim or your child bride
I’ve been somebody’s woman on the side
Just take me for what I already am
Honey make me feel like a man

'Cause there’s never been a better time to be alive
The same Sun shines in everybody’s sky
But everything inside of me has turned to dust
If I gave you a daughter would you open up
