My Daughter Lyrics

This is what my history teacher said
This is what my history teacher said
He said: kingdoms fall and kingdoms rise
In the end there is no surprise
There's never been a war
That hasn't been fought before
So if you find my teacher in this town
If you found my teacher in this town
Tell him that his work is done
I don't need him from now on
I will find a way

And one day I will have a daughter
Who'll say I was better
Better as a father
Better than before
One day I'll come back again to you
One day I'll come back again to you
I'm a story as old as Bethlehem
I am dusted off, I am told again
Gone through every land
Passed from hand to hand
One day I will have a daughter
Who'll say I was better
Better as a father
Better than before

One day I will have a daughter
Who'll say I was better
Better as a father
Better than before, before
