Katie Gavin The Baton

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
Oh if I had a daughter
I know what I would tell her
I know that 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
And on that very same day
She joins a kind of relay
I 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 healin’
That still needs to be done

[Chorus]
So go on girl, it’s out of my hands
I can’t come, where you’re goin’
Time unfurls and you’ll understand
The baton, it will be passed again
The baton, it will be passed again

[Verse 2]
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 goin’
Time unfurls and you’ll understand
The baton, it will be passed again
The baton, it will be passed again
