Lyrics Daughter of Hope - Mia Doi Todd

Daughter of Hope

Find me, can you find me?
Flying overhead with flowers in my hair
Find me, can you find me?
Always in my head when I should be with you instead
I can say it takes a long time to get what you want
If it ever comes, bid it stay a moment
I can say it takes a long time to know how you feel
So when the waves vacillate, you can tell what is real
Now I know what is real
Yes, I know what is real
Now I know what is real
Yes, I know what is real
I can feel it in my sleep, fighting with my sense of self
Aching in my dreams, working out my mental health
I can feel it in my dreams where I still live in my own domain
What I didn’t want to keep, I snt it on the night train
I sent it on the night train, so whn it comes back
It will have seen the world and it won’t hurt like that
No, it won’t hurt like that
No, it won’t hurt like that
No, it won’t hurt like that
No, it won’t hurt like that
When the light turns green, driving to the rock show
With a girl of sixteen, how could she ever know?
When the light turns green, which way will the weather go?
Will he be mean?
I’ll bring my umbrella so
I might stay dry in the river of tears
I’ll bring a boat too, it’s an ocean of tears
It’s an ocean of tears where we learn to swim
In our mother’s womb and from within
It’s an ocean of tears where we learn to swim
And I swim to you and I swim to him
In the ocean of tears
Ocean of pain
Ocean of fear
Ocean of rain
Ocean of life
Ocean of death
Ocean of time
Ocean of breath
Baby of mine, swim toward the light
Baby inside, swim toward the breath
Oh my daughter of hope
Oh my daughter of hope
Oh my daughter of hope
Oh my daughter of hope
Oh my daughter of hope
You have a mother of fantasy
And I can’t always cope with the harsh realities
We’re living in a marketplace, the world has gone flat
Pop the champagne, it won’t grow back
Oh my daughter of hope, for you I want everything
A beautiful world, a land of plenty
A world without greed, good food to eat
Clean water to drink and room to think
Oh my daughter of hope, for you I want everything
Oh my daughter of hope, for you I want everything
A world without sorrow, a world without pain
A better world tomorrow and the best day today
Oh my daughter of hope, oh my daughter of fantasy
Oh my daughter of love, oh my daughter of mystery
I want you to know me and I want to know you
I want you to know me and I want to know you
Find me, can you find me?
Flying overhead with flowers in my hair
Find me, can you find me?
Always in your heart, always in your hands
Always in your blood, always in your head
Find me, yes, you found me
Daughter of hope, my daughter of hope
I found you, yes, I found you
Daughter of hope, my daughter of hope
Daughter of hope
Daughter of hope
Oh my daughter of hope
Oh my daughter of hope
Oh my daughter of hope
Oh my daughter of hope
Oh my daughter of hope
