Toni Childs – Daddy's Song lyrics
While you're standing there
I'm standing in a field
In my mind
You can't take that away from me
Daddy comes to me
In darkness not in light
Why I gave you all my love
And you showed no mercy

You tried to pin me down
With emotion feeling things
A butterfly display
A symbol fall from grace
I'm closing down my heart
I'm putting up the wall
Why I gave you all my love
And you showed no mercy

Here I sit
Looking to the light
In my head
I have the peace of mind
I've lost tonight
There are flowers here
And hills and horses too
I ride in my dreams and
I'm afraid I'll have to go back
Go back to the night
Daddy holds me tight
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my head
Someone help me now
Daddy comes to me
In darkness not in light
Why I gave you all my love
And you showed no mercy

I just want to know now
What it is to survive
Daddy's song and daddy's lies
I've gotta know (repeat)
What it is
How it happened
I've just got to know now
What it is to survive
Daddy's song and daddy's lies
I've gotta know (repeat)

What it is
How it happened
I've just got to know now
What it means to survive
And to live out daddy's lies
I've got to live
I've got to live
I've got to live
I've got to live

    One of the most powerful and moving lyrics I know. Sung by one of the most impressive female voices out there. Perfect production.
    The tune is repetitive and suggestive – which fits the lyrics perfect.
    I don’t understand why any campaign leader or org. – working toward child abuse, haven’t asked for permission to use the song.

    Toni Childs never got the acknowledgment she deserved. She got great critics, but not too many radio stations had the record spin. (Probably because they were amateurs themselves.)
    She’s collaborating with top notch studio musicians, if you’ve missed her on the way, or wasn’t born at the time, but love great music, you’ve to give it some turns.
    "Union", "House of Hope" and "The Woman’s Boat" are all three favorite albums to me.
