“Thank God You Had A Daughter” (2025) - Rachel Sumner

I can’t stand
I can’t stand
I can’t stand 
Knowing you went and
Had a baby 
Had a baby
Had a baby girl of your own

You would kill
You would kill 
You would kill any man if he had
Done what you did
Done what you did 
Done what you did
To your sweet little kid

I thank god
I thank god 
I thank god I can’t remember all the details
The strokes are broad
The strokes are broad
The strokes are broad
But the pain never pales 

Grey’s always been white and black
You mixed them back 
Before you had a daughter
You said the truth was obscured
By liquor
Before you had a daughter
If it happened to her 
I think you’d know for sure
You wouldn’t blame the water
If flesh and blood is what you need
To finally feel some empathy 
Well thank god you had a daughter 

I hope she grows
I hope she grows
I hope she grows up with love and knows
A good man
A good man
The good man you should have already been 

Some will say
Some will say
Some will say blame goes both ways
Until they’re having babies
Having babies
Having baby girls of their own

Is this what it takes to make
The world safe
For each and every daughter?
Must it be self-interest
Do we matter less
Unless we’re someone’s daughter?
Grey’s always been black and white
You blurred the line
But truth is as clear as water
If flesh and blood is what you need
To finally feel some empathy 
Well thank god you had a daughter 

I can’t stand it
