My Fathers Daughter Lyrics - Picking Up The Pieces - Jewel

She stepped off of the boat to see flowers in his hands 

The man she would marry was as hard as the mountains 

She had his children in a one room log cabin 

Soon I'd be another star in this family's constellation 

In the land of the midnight sun 

Searching for gold 

I am my father's daughter 

He has his mother's eyes 

I am the product of their sacrifice 

I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations 

And their stories live in me like holy water 

I am my father's daughter

My father raised me in a one room log cabin 

And he sang for me the songs his mother sang for him 

And honkey-tonks, and empty bars, just me and him 

And that old guitar 

He passed on a legacy wrapped up in a melody 

That I carry on 

Searching for gold 

I am my father's daughter 

I have my Gramma's eyes 

I am the product of their sacrifice 

I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations 

And their stories live in me like holy water 

I am my father's daughter 

And every time I step on stage 

And the music finds me 

I don't need gold to remind me

That I am my father's daughter 

I have my Grandma's eyes 

I am the product of such sacrifice 

I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations 

And their stories live in me like holy water 

I am my father's daughter 

I am my father's daughter 

Oh, I am my father's daughter
