My Daddy\'s Blues

You may not know who I am,

But I\'m your daughter

And the savory part about this is

Your thought not of me;

For I am your daughter in the wind

Scurrying to find lost change

What secrets don\'t define me?

For I am the generational curse breaker

Could you be that James Baldwin

Telling it to the mountain?

For I want to know who my daddy is,

Don\'t you want to know who I am?

Oh daddy, daddy

I am not a figment of one\'s imagination

For I am real

And I am longing for you

What is your blues?

Do you deem it to be true?

For I know your blues, and your blues is you;

Go tell it to the mountain

For I see the sun

For my heart belongs to you--

Daddy,

Daddy, daddy, daddy

Does the river belong to the mountain?

For my soul is the blues of despair...

I am that dream in your hair.
