"Daughters"
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
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
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
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 soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart
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
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too [x3]
I've always liked this song. I think an interesting topic might be to explore how a girl's upbringing or the involvement (or lack thereof) of her father growing up would affect her relationships later in life. :)
ReplyDeleteI like that idea too--writing about the importance of a father in a girl's life. You may wnat to compare and contrast girls who grow up with father and without in your second essay.
ReplyDeleteI don't see that you have made any progress beyond what we did in class two weeks ago. The paper is due in 72 hours, but you have not examined either of the concepts you selected.
