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
Shes 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

Words & Music by Topher Teague
Let me tell ya about this lustin'
See it's been what I've been
Puttin' all my trust in
Tell me why
Have I been givin' in to this sin
That I know I should not be in
Yet I'm still dependent on
And I feel guilty
For wonderin' why you built me
But I no longer have the passion for the fashions
Of rationalizing all the guilt and shame inside me
Decided to put it behind me now
I am fightin'
Every man's battle and I'm
Tired of it always hangin' around
Oh yeah, yeah
I am fightin'
Every man's battle and I'm
Tired of always losin' ground
Losin' ground
Oooooo here it comes again
See this habit I've formed
Is keeping me torn
And the warnings were present
But I was incessant on the very thing that was keeping me down
This temptation is my frustration
My source of liberation comes
From the only One
Who brings me my salvation now
But it's hard to keep purity
With all these lies encirclin' me
See the media's exposin'
These people without their clothes
Insinuation, fornication, this nation's run out of patience
CHORUS
And maybe all this generation needs
Is a little conversation
'Cause if we talk then there's nothing left to hide
And we can stop the lies
Turn on the light
And end the shame in Jesus name
