Send ‘Daughters’ Ringtone to Cell

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

    I know a girl She puts the color inside of my world But she's just like a maze Where all of the walls are continually changed 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 I'm 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 guide and the weight of her world...
