Daddy’s Song Lyrics by Toni Childs

House of Hope

1991

While you're standing there
I'm standing in a field
In my mind
You can't take that away from me
Daddy comes to me
In darkness not in light
Why I gave you all my love
And you showed no mercy
You tried to pin me down
With emotion feeling things
A butterfly display
A symbol fall from grace
I'm closing down my heart
I'm putting up the wall
Why I gave you all my love
And you showed no mercy
Here I sit
Looking to the light
In my head
I have the peace of mind
I've lost tonight
There are flowers here
And hills and horses too
I ride in my dreams and
I'm afraid I'll have to go back
Go back to the night
Daddy holds me tight
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my head
Someone help me now
Daddy comes to me
In darkness not in light
Why I gave you all my love
And you showed no mercy
I just want to know now
What it is to survive
Daddy's song and daddy's lies
I've gotta know
I've gotta know
What it is
How it happened
I've just got to know now
What it is to survive
Daddy's song and daddy's lies
I've gotta know
I've gotta know
What it is
How it happened
I've just got to know now
What it means to survive
And to live out daddy's lies
I've got to live
I've got to live
I've got to live
I've got to live
