My Daughter's Country

Is she really mine?
Will she want to stay
When she comes to know
She came from far away?
What will she believe in?
Where will she call home?
Will home be a great wilderness
Between two great unknowns?

My daughter's country
Bridged by open sea
My daughter's country
Borderless and free
Love's the flag that flies above
The land that she calls home
Wherever she may be
Is my daughter's country.

When she wonders why
She doesn't look like me
I will tell her how she came
From far across the sea
Someday when she's grown
I will take her there
She will dance with dragons
Jade combs in her hair

We're a part of everything we see
The lines we draw, the maps we make
Will never make us free
