Testi

[Verse 1]
Oh, if I had a daughter
I know what I would tell her
I know what I would tell her when she's old enough to know
I would tell my daughter
She must be her own mother
'Cause I can only take her as far as I can go
[Verse 2]
And on that very same day
She'd join a kind of relay
I'd pass her the baton, and I'd say, "You better run"
'Cause this thing has been going
For many generations
But there is so much healing
That still needs to be done
[Chorus]
So go on, girl, it's out of my hands
I can't come where you're going
But time unfurls, and you'll understand
The baton, it will be passed again
The baton, it will be passed again
[Verse 3]
But today, I have no daughter
I only have a mother
And I know that my mother taught me everything she knows
And I don't want to leave her
But she is drawing nearer
She's coming around the corner
I can hear her yelling, "Go"
[Chorus]
Go on, girl, it's out of my hands
I can't come where you're going
Time unfurls, and you'll understand
The baton, it will be passed again
The baton, it will be passed again
