Justice For My Daughter

Verse 1

I was standing in the backyard,

Just another sunny day,

Pulling weeds and making plans,

With nothing standing in my way.

Then I saw my baby girl walking,

And something in me changed,

The light that used to live inside her eyes

Just didn't look the same.

Her face was pale, her voice was quiet,

Like she'd lost the will to speak,

And the strongest little girl I'd ever known

Looked so broken, scared, and weak.

Verse 2

She told me what had happened,

And I swear the world stood still,

I could hear my own heart pounding,

Felt a rage I couldn't kill.

That beautiful white cloud above us

Turned to ashes in my mind,

And I would've torn the world apart

To leave that hurt behind.

Oh, if I could've taken all her pain,

I'd have carried every scar,

But all I had were trembling hands

And a heart breaking in the dark.

Chorus

He's hurt my little girl,

And God knows I want him to pay.

There's a fire burning in my soul

That won't just fade away.

I wanted to find that son of a bitch,

Make him answer for the pain,

But I won't let my anger take from her

What he's already tried to take.

So, I'll stand beside her in that courtroom,

Let the truth be heard and known.

She won't have to face this world alone.

And whatever justice brings,

Whatever this life puts us through,

I'll be right there beside her.

I'm her daddy.

I'll see this through.

Verse 3

I can't erase the things she's seen,

Can't undo the things he's done,

Can't turn back the hands of time

Or bring back who she was.

But I'll be there when the nights get long,

When the tears won't let her sleep,

I'll remind her she's still beautiful,

And she's worth more than she believes.

And if she thinks she's broken,

I'll tell her she's still whole.

He may have wounded her body,

But he'll never own her soul.

Bridge

Lord, give me strength to hold my tongue,

Give me wisdom to stand tall.

Let me be the father she needs,

Not another man who falls.

I've got a thousand words of anger,

A thousand things I'd like to do,

But the only thing that matters now Is helping her make it through.

Final Chorus

He's hurt my little girl,

And I'll never be the same.

But I won't let hate become the man

Who carries her last name.

Let the courtroom hear her story,

Let the evidence ring true.

Let justice have its moment,

And let healing find her too.

I'll stand beside her through the darkness,

I'll be there when the skies turn blue.

And when she thinks she can't go on,

I'll remind her what is true.

She's my daughter, she's my baby,

And my love will see her through.

Outro

I was standing in the backyard…

It was such a beautiful day.

Then my little girl came walking up,

And the sunshine slipped away.

But, baby girl, you listen to me…

You still have your daddy.

And I'm not going anywhere.

Justice for my daughter.
