"Someone's Daughter" lyrics

"Someone's Daughter"

Someone's daughter
Someone's daughter who had
A mother, father
Mother, father who dreamed
Of somethin' better
Somethin' better than they had
For her

Maybe, just maybe
They'd buy a house on a hill
And raise some babies
They could name in their will
Somethin' better
So much better than they had
For sure

Her soul
You have taken
And our hearts are breakin'
Broken in two
She's just another
Target you aim at
And hide from the blame, oh
There's no excusing you

Just a moment
A moments all that it takes
For somethin' precious
To be stolen away
Won't forget her
Won't forget and I won't forgive

I'm still waitin'
For the day we're fated to win
No longer hated
Oh, for the shade of our skin
We're still waitin'
We're still waitin' for change
Change to begin

Her soul
You have taken
And our hearts are breakin'
Broken in two
She's just another
Target you aim at
And hide from the blame, oh
There's no excusing you

Do you see her?
Or is she just a number
You read from a page
Not just a body
She was somebody
And not yours to take

Her soul
You have taken
And our hearts are breakin'
Broken in two
She's just another
Target you aim at
And hide from the blame, oh
There's no excusing you

Her soul
You have taken
And our hearts are breakin'
Broken in two
She's just another
Target you aim at
And hide from the blame, oh
There's no excusing you
