She stepped off of the boat
to see flowers in his hand
the man she would marry was as
hard as the mountains
she had his children in a 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 her 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 old log cabin
and he sang for me
the songs his mother sang to him
honkey tonks and empty bars
just me and him and that old guitar
he passed on a legacy wrapped up in a melody
then I carry on
searching for gold
I am my father's daughter
I have his eyes
I am the product of his 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
Every time I step on stage
and the music finds me
I don't need gold to remind me
I am my father's daughter
I have my grandma's eyes
I am the product of such sacrifice
I am the accumulation
that 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
