My Daughter

this is what my history teacher said
this is what my history teacher said
he said: kingdoms fall and kingdoms rise
in the end there is no surprise
there has never been a war
that hasn’t been fought before
so if you find my teacher in this town
if you find my teacher in this town
tell him that his work is done
I don’t need him from now on
I won’t find a way
and one day I will have a daughter
who’ll say I was better
better as a father
better than before
one day I’ll come back again to you
one day I’ll come back again to you
I’m a story as old as Bethlehem
I’m dusted off, I’m told again
gone from land to land
passed from hand to hand
and one day I will have a daughter
who’ll say I was better
better as a father
better than before
and one day I will have a daughter
who’ll say I was better
better as a father
better than before
