Daughters Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Keep that tender heart
All the pain you take and make the start
In this life, you learn your strength and strife
You're more than just a mistress or a wife
[Pre-Chorus 1]
When it's not safe to walk these streets
Join your hands and sing with me
Raise our voices, hear our plea (hear our plea)
[Chorus 1]
We are the daughters
We are the sisters who
Carry the water
We are the mothers too
We are each other
We are the other, ooh
We are the daughters
[Verse 2]
Fierce as fire, sweet as fruit
Not easily defined, not following suit
In a world that's run on pride and force
Women of the world, we have a voice
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When it's not safe to walk these streets
Gangs and tribes and clubs of beasts
But when, oh when will there be peace?
Will there be peace?
[Chorus 2]
We are the daughters
We are the damned and doomed
Give us your violence
We won't be silent, ooh
We are the shelter
We are the helpers, ooh
We are the daughters
[Bridge]
We are the daughters
We are the daughters
We are the daughters
We are the daughters
We are the daughters
We are the daughters
[Chorus 1]
We are the daughters
We are the sisters who
Carry the water
We are the mothers too
We are each other
We are the other, ooh
We are the daughters
[Chorus 2]
We are the daughters
We are the damned and doomed
Give us your violence
We won't be silent, ooh
We are the shelter
We are the helpers, ooh
We are the daughters
[Outro]
Ooh yeah ooh yeah
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
Ooh yeah ooh yeah
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
Ooh yeah ooh yeah
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
Ooh yeah ooh yeah
Ooh ooh ooh yeah

What did Lissie say about "Daughters"?
“I love that my nieces’ new favorite song of mine is “Daughters”. Even though they are very young, they intuitively know to celebrate their femaleness. Every woman is a daughter and has something special to contribute to the world. I hope that they grow up in a time when their strengths and sense of...
