Somebody's Daughter

Somebody’s Daughter
Words & Music by John Mandeville & Steve Siler

The moment she was born
Her mommy and daddy cried
Taken by the wonder of life
From Barbie dolls to ballet shoes
From roller skates to lipstick and rouge
She’s become a lady overnight
Why do I see only flesh and look right past her heart
I try to tell myself I can’t help what I feel – then I remember

She’s somebody’s daughter
Somebody’s child
Somebody’s pride and joy
Somebody loves her for who she is inside
She has a mother and father
She’s somebody’s daughter

You knit her together
Your cherished creation
Made her body a temple for the soul
Why can’t I appreciate
The beauty that your hands have made
And maintain my self control
‘Cause when I see only flesh you’re looking
at her heart
There is so much more to her than meets the eye –
I need to remember

CHORUS
Heaven’s own precious child
A person full of worth and dignity
When her beauty is defiled
I demean us both and fail to see

She’s somebody’s daughter
Somebody’s child
Somebody’s pride and joy
Somebody loves her for who she is inside
She has a mother and father
She’s somebody’s daughter
She has a heavenly father
She’s somebody’s daughter

I wanted to share what a blessing Somebody’s Daughter was to me. I balled like a baby during the song. I have three boys who I believe are struggling with porn. I am going to have each of them hear it.

This simple reminder that we are all created in the image of God and have a mom and a dad will remind us that porn at any level is repulsive. My oldest daughter is 18 and this hits home for me.

I just listened to Somebody’s Daughter. Men are going to hate you.
