Song for Daughters - Stephen Kellogg

This is a song for our daughters

Cause there’s some things that they need to hear

Now, we never know when it’s our time to go

So, let me be perfectly clear

You’re gonna win, you’re gonna lose

You’re gonna walk youself around in your shoes

Til maybe one day, it’s you who will say

Don’t be too hard on yourselves

You don’t have to be somebody else

On the days when you most want to give up the ghost

Don’t be too hard, don’t be too hard on yourselves

Girl, everyone wants to be beautiful

Everyone looks in the mirror

And sees things they would change, feels some sort of pain

But I see your beauty so clear

It’s in the way that you light up

When you are doing the things that you love

Just how you are, that’s the best part

So, don’t be too hard on yourselves

You don’t have to be somebody else

On the days when you most want to give up the ghost

Don’t be too hard, don’t be too hard on yourselves

If Venus should smile down upon you

And you’re lucky enough to find love

Give it all that you’ve got, cause good love takes a lot

And pray that the love is enough

And if it’s not, how it can hurt

It’s so much less than you deserve

If you’re there one day, you’ll hear me say

Don’t be too hard on yourselves

You don’t have to be somebody else

On the days when you most want to give up the ghost

Don’t be too hard, don’t be too hard on yourselves

So, don’t be too hard on yourselves

You don’t have to be somebody else

On the days when you most want to give up the ghost

Don’t be too hard, don’t be too hard on yourselves

This is a song for my daughters

Don’t be too hard, don’t be too hard on yourselves
