Goddaughters

Goddaughters don't ask for anything

But a song to sing

And the meek know nothing's ever won

But the sun

And someday, I'll rise above my name

Shed my skin, and make good with my fate

For Goddaughters

Goddaughters know nothing of the flame

From which they came

And their mothers, on the endless seas they roam

All alone

And someday, I'll rise above the heat

Shed my skin, and the sorrow that I see

For Goddaughters

Goddaughters don't ask for anything

But give everything

And the mansions we build on hills so tall

Sometimes fall

And one day, I'll rise above my fear

Shed my skin, leave an afterimage here

For Goddaughters
