Verse:
D G
Oh if I had a daughter
A Bm
I know what I would tell her
Bm G
I know what I would tell her
D A
When she's old enough to know
D G
I would tell my daughter
A Bm
She must be her own mother
Bm G
'Cause I can only take her
A D
As far as I can go
D G
And on that very same day
A Bm
She'd join a kind of relay
Bm G
I'd pass her the baton and
D A
I'd say "you'd better run.
D G
'Cause this thing has been going
A Bm
For many generations
Bm G
But there is so much healing
A D
That still needs to be done."
