Kestner, Molly Kate - His Daughter Lyrics






"Everything's gonna be alright."
She whispers to herself.
She was only 6 years old that night.
As she hid behind that shelf.
Cause daddy had a little too much to drink.
And mama didn't want her to feel the pain she felt.
But she still felt the pain...

Well 10 years they came and went,
And dad was gone.
So she looked for love in other men.
And tried to act strong.
Oh, broken hearts and scars in only places she could see.
Cause she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something.

And as she sat there on her bed,
Thinking 'bout what those girls said,
Tears streamed from her eyes.
She cried...

"If there's a God out there
Please hear my prayer.
I'm lost and I'm scared,
And I've got nowhere else to go.
I've come a long, long way.
But I'm not sure I can make it much farther...
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand.
To your daughter."

Well her path started to change.
She reached out and grabbed God's grace.
And finally, she saw a light.
Until the night,
Where she decided one drink was alright,
And one thing led to another.
Next thing you know, 9 months go by,
She's a mother.

And as she laid there in that bed.
Stroking that small angel's head.
Tears streamed from her eyes.
She cried...

"If there's a God out there.
Please hear my prayer.
I'm lost and I'm scared,
And I've got nowhere else to run.
I've come a long, long way.
But I'm not sure I can be the best mother...
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand.
To your daughter."

Well that baby grew into a boy.
Who became her pride and joy.
He loved her like no man could.
And her heart felt peace, cause she finally understood.
God's love.

So as she laid there in that bed,
99 years old.
She grabbed her son's hand and said.
"There's something you must know..."

"There is a God up there.
Who heard my prayer.
I was lost and afraid.
And I had nowhere else to go.
I had no clue, what to do
And then He sent me you."

So if you're lost and afraid,
And you feel so alone,
Don't worry child,
Cause there's a Father who will love you as His own.
Just like He loved His daughter.
Like He loved His daughter.

  1. G.... H....

    This song hits different.
    "Mama didn't want her to the pain"
    "She just wanted to feel something"
    Thinking about what those girls said"

    I prayed alot but am still helpless God hasn't helped me my mother or sister. We're still in trouble. But I still love this song.

  2. L.... H....

    I can relate to a part because my dad used to drink when I was 3 and my sister 5 and we would always be scared of him be now we are Christian and live a happy live I am now 12 my sister is about to be 14 and I have a little sister that is going to soon be 4 sometimes I get mad cuz my dad changed and spends time with her and I tell him why coudnt u change earlier and u could of spent ur time with me and my sister 😭💔

  3. F.... C....

    I’ll never understand why she’s not big in this singing industry

  4. L.... C....

    She doesn't write songs, she writes stories. Love her !

  5. B.... w....

    This reminds me of when my dad left us . He recently came back and left again with his new girlfriend and never said good bye 😪 he wants nothing to do with us wow I've kept this in so long.feel relief to say it all .
    But love this song very relatable

  6. C.... L....

    This reminds me about how at 10 years old my dad, he left and ran off to California and didn't tell us til 3 months later and I was scared. Also the thing is he left us on Father's Day and I was just so woreied and so scared and I miss him A LOT and even though he left I still love him and I have to forgive him because when I prayed to God one night he told me that I must forguve him for everything. If I dont forguve him then I would always have this pain in my heart and this voice telling me I have to forgive him. Ihave forguven him now and I am excited to see in soon. I am flying out to California to see him on January 17, 2019 and I am so so happy!!!

  7. k.... 1....

    I like this song at 1.5

  8. S.... T....

    I can hear her crying when she was singing

  9. J.... B....

    LOVE IT ❤

  10. C.... ....

    People accidentally hit the dislike button through their tears.

  11. A.... Y....

    I'm the type of girl that is depressed but don't want anyone to worry or even notice and care about me or it...But when it comes to these songs it reminds me of death..and I can't help but think of my daddy

  12. C.... M....

    I can totally relate to this song I've been with seattle talent now for awhile trying tp figure out how to put my story of my life into words or a song like I wanted for my first demo to be able to have .y first demo relate to me but now I see and hear this song you have created and it is the same words that I have been trying to find a way to express that connects to my life struggles since I was 6yrs. Old as well but now you have already created it. Congrads and excellent work you have done with its story. Maybe one day we can sing it together if we ever get that chance to meet! Thank you for sharing a song that tells a story I can totally relate to in my life. I'm still struggling to get my head above water and off the streets still trying to survive and having to sacrifice everyday the time I wish was being spent with my. 3 sons but can't still till I get up on my feet and as well helping my mother to right now struggling to get her up on hers so she don't become paralyzed like what might happen soon if she doesn't get on her feet soon to be stable enough to get surgery that she needs like asap.

  13. H.... B....

    I can and can't realte. . . My dad usally gets mad at everything and yells. I hate it and emotional me, I cry.

  14. M.... &....

    On the outside:
    Happy
    Confident
    Humerus
    Helpful

    On the inside:
    Screaming HELP
    thinking I’m useless
    Going through depression
    Getting anxiety
    Hiding secrets from friends and family......

  15. i.... i....

    omg this is sooooo emotional I always cry

  16. A.... S....

    This hits hard its so true for me except i was 4

  17. �.... ....

    Even if i try to sing along i start crying 😭

  18. �.... ....

    I try to not to cry on this,but its just to impossible because its so relatable.

    *He never came back....*

  19. C.... ....

    tbh, i do have friends and i do have a family but i feel really lonely most of the time and i always end up going back to this darng song. I would like to talk to my friends about how i feel and stuff but it wouldn't matter because even if i would all they would have said would probably be like "oh yeah, i'm so sorry, i'm here for u!" but really, they wouldn't. And it stinks ): cause they r never here for me in the first place and like jajksah idk what to do

    C.... ....

    and i cant talk to people from my school and stuff because i'm too shy and i feel like my problems are nothing compared to others and that if i go talk to them, maybe someone else who needs it more than i do will have to wait? And they might feel even worse and i don't wanna cause that pain to somebody

  20. J.... L....

    This is so sad😭😭

  21. E.... I....

    I help people, I've even been told I'm like a therapist, but I never help myself.

  22. g.... c....

    i havent seen my dad untill i was 11 then got tooken from him 2 years later never seen him since ...im 13

  23. N.... E....

    Love this contemporary Christian artist

  24. V.... C....

    So sad i cried 💔

  25. M.... J....

    My dad... I still have him today...
    Back then when I was 3... he loved me!
    Few years later.. 6 year old, Loved me!
    10 years later... she was 10! And he loved her!
    2 more years came... she was 12...
    He said "your not my child... your his child... and everyday I hate you, you dont do anything, you dont do nothing for us, Fucking bitch"
    She'd cry herself to sleep every night.... and if not every night shed have to babysit her siblings... her brother would often abuse her for her gender... now today... nothings been getting better since... it getting worse...

  26. -.... R....

    this sounds exactly what im going trough except for the drinking and being a mother i always felt i wasnt good enough for the world every time i turned around one person after the next people out of my family died and i felt it was my fault i wasnt enough and everytime i was down i put on a smiling face and act strong when i really wasnt

  27. I.... l....

    I feel the song and that's my life and my mom I lost she was gone and my dad

  28. w.... s....

    AM NOT CRYING YOUR CRYING ;c

  29. l.... p....

    ay love it 😢😢😢

  30. L.... H....

    I lost my will to live but I’m fight the depression because of my mom she raised me to be strong and I know I will never be alone and I just wanted to let you guys to know that you all are amazing and worth it no matter want if no one loves you I do and I alway wil no matter what xoxo love you from me to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    L.... H....

    Latrell Hall I’m here if you need to talk :)

  31. J.... ....

    When I was 6, I remember my parents fighting and I was hiding under the table. I’m listening to this song years later and I can’t stop crying. My parents ended up getting a divorce a year later

  32. M.... g....

    Not a religious person but this song really helped me before someone noticed I was self harming and had suicidal thoughts (I’m only 12) and got me on medication it really is true things get a little better when I first heard this song I was like that’s bs but it rlly isn’t not trying to be cliche but things rlly will get better there’s always a light at the end of darkness

  33. K.... ....

    So I'm 14 and I've been suffering from severe depression for about 2 years (mild for about 6 years before that) and I finally felt like I was getting better after 2 hospital stays within the same month and 10 months on high doses of anti-depressants.


    BUT NO.


    Apparently, I'm more suicidal than ever and honestly it kinda feels like this song is about my life but I just haven't gotten to some of the later parts yet. It actually takes effort trying not to kill myself wherever I go.


    What makes it worse is that today I asked my friend out AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE HER LIKE THAT. I'M NOT EVEN GAY (i have absolutely nothing against gays btw). That just proves how lonely I am.

  34. A.... D....

    Scares at forever and life is temporary so enjoy your life because your life will end in a blink of an eye

  35. S.... L....

    the 507 dislikes are all the podios who cried but the tears were falling and thought it was the like button

  36. J.... T....

    This song makes me feel like I need space and feel like I need help and scared

    J.... T....

  40. v.... _....

    It made me break down at the end. It's good to know that there is someone who can be a father to me. And hopefully better than my own

  41. v.... _....

    When a song just realtes too much to you 😓...

  42. A.... ....

    This song is wonderful and if u don't believe in God u are really missing out on God's grace because if u are lost and scared talk to God cause he is always listening even when u think he isn't

    A.... ....

    Pls like if u believe in God and hope

  43. M.... H....

    Can someone meet me then just kill me I'm just tired waiting for the day that I die

  44. B.... B....

    Why is this exactly my story ?..

  45. A.... ....

    It’s been 2 years since I heard this song last, I used to be depressed and I had severe issues with paranoia, Stuff gets better, (TW Self-harm) Self harming isn’t worth it, I’ve been addicted to it for 3 years now, I stopped of course, but it’s still in the back of my head, stuff gets better, be stubborn, be mad, be upset. It’s human! It’s okay!! You’ll be okay ❤️

  46. J.... ....

    Sometimes all I want is for someone to hold me when I'm down, but no one listens. I cry myself to sleep without anyone knowing, not even my mother. I wish I had someone to hold.

  47. t.... d....

    Who in 2020? With me

  48. S.... ....

    Wow I love the smiley face at the end after the death.......:,)

  50. J.... T....

  51. A.... S....

    When your dad goes to the store to get milk and doesn't come back

  52. W.... F....

    I love songs that tells the whole story

  53. A.... N....

    I think it‘s the Most beautiful Song I‘ve ever heard. I can‘t listen to this song without crying and this still in 2019

  54. K.... L....

    My biological Father left three times, one time I was six.
    When I was six I was abused by my step dad.
    My Mom divorced that terrible, abusive man, years passed as I became secluded.
    I turned eleven and she began abusing me verbally and emotionally.
    I was twelve when CPS didn't do anything.
    I started cutting at thirteen.
    I stopped believing in God at thirteen.
    I came out to my abusive Mom and she yelled during my time being thirteen.
    I began planning suicide at thirteen.
    The counselors got me help at thirteen.

    I will be hoping, praying, that things will get better.
    Thing is, I won't we hoping or praying for me. Ill be doing it for people who feel like trash daily because they don't want to bother anyone with their problems. I'll be doing it for those of us who believe that death is the best option when we know it really isn't. I'll be doing it because I know it sucks to feel completely and utterly worthless.
    I will try to get better, not for myself, but for my grandmother who raised me because my Mom was too overwhelmed to take care of me and my brother as a single Mom.
    Right now, writing this, I hope whoever has made it to read this far is doing a bit better. I hope you are doing good. If you aren't, I hope things do get better for you. You may not believe me, but I bet you deserve better. No one deserves to feel the way you may possibly feel daily. You probably hear this all of the time, but you are not alone. I myself have been through quite a few things as you may have noticed. You are worth it. If you want to talk, talk. If someone gives you crap, don't let them have control over you. You my friend, are a boss who will someday thrive. You've made it through multiple bad days, you probably just went through one. But hey, those bad days are in the past. Like I said, you happen to be here, reading this. You have made it. I think you can keep going, you're doing great.

  55. A.... L....

    I'm the happiest depressed person u will ever meet

  56. S.... S....

    I listen to this in my moms car while she was driveling and I tryed not to cry bc I’m that person that has depression but just hides it an pretends to be happy all day 😭

  57. L.... T....

    This is making me cry

  58. A.... A....

    November of 2019 ?

  59. A.... o....

    When does the pain end?

    *when it ends you*

  60. R.... T....

    I first listen to this song when i was 3 by finding it on youtube by myself (i use to remember letters and memorize what i wanted to watch..) And i cried because i knew what she was talking about and i have no clue how i knew what this song ment by it hits even harder now

  61. F.... C....

    Beautiful

  62. A.... W....

    This sounds like what my life’s story is going to turn out to be. I have the first part of the song down... just have to keep living life and I bet this will be me in the coming years....


    My “dad” left when I was 6 months old to start a new family and ended up having 2 more... he loves those kids, why couldn’t he love me... why couldn’t he stay.. he did for them. I’ve grown up without a dad. I’m almost 16 now and he still hasn’t wanted to be my dad... I don’t know why he didn’t want me.. I cried everyday until I was 13 wishing he would realize that he had made a mistake... I’m still waiting........

    I wonder if her song/story will end up being mine too..?

  63. K.... S....

    This makes me a little emotional

  64. A.... N....

    I'm going to tell you a story about how someone got me threw my depression and a bad day:
    One day in class I was lessoning to this song then a person came up and changed the song to baby don't cut. at first I was like HEY WHY U DO THAT. but then I lesson to the song. Then I turned and asked for that guy to come back. I was crying and said thx u. And now today were best friends. One act of kindness can go around and changed a bad day into the most wonderful moment of someone life. Its not to late for you guys to do that like the person in the story :)

    For anyone that sees this- it gets better, I promise.

    I vividly remember listening to this on repeat with anything sharp I could get my hands on, when my door was taken off the hinges because I couldn’t stop hurting myself. I remember falling asleep crying to this every night for months, even years. It’s about 4 years later and while staying strong was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, it was also the best.

  74. A.... D....

    *THIS IS ME AND MY MOMS CONVO FROME EARLIER TODAY*
    Mom: "Hailie will you talk to me about life?"
    Me: "Will you not hate me if I say something you don't like?"
    Mom: "I'm sure I'll get mad."
    Me: "Get mad, but I hate myself, I live every day faking a smile. No one has asked me if I'm okay and my best friend died six days ago. I'm the one who found her, no I am not okay. I feel like the world is crushing me, I struggle to even look in the mirror. I could've stopped him from killing himself, but no I was asleep. I just want to go to sleep and not wake up, but now I can't even fall asleep without being terrified of someone else dying. I wake up every morning and throw on clothes not giving a shit about what I look like cause I'll hate myself even more if it's possible. I don't take my anti-depressants because it's not worth it if I still feel the way I do. I'm to my breaking point and no one cares enough to ask the 10 words I want them to. I don't want to live, I just want to not be on Earth because it's a crappy place."
    Mom: "I uh..."
    Me: "Didn't care enough to even ask? I can't even imagine how much it must hit you that you don't give a single shit about me. Well, guess what, you probably didn't even realize that it's my birthday."
    Mom: "I'm--"
    Me: "Sorry. I get it."
    *then I woke up from my dream, my birthday with me alone in my room six days after my best friend died, and a day after my mom died*

  93. B.... A....

    What wrong with the 450 people who disliked this song

  94. D.... W....

    I don't care much for God. He can help everyone else but I don't need a super natural figure that rules over a religion where it's a sin to be a "homo". They say God loves all. I call their bullshit.

  95. R.... x....

    I cry..
    Because this Voice is so Beautifull 😍🙏. And this Song discripe my Life..

  96. L.... H....

    This song just really hits you in the heart. It really just speaks out to you. It shows how strong God's love is for you 🙏

  97. B.... T....

    Oh my god I love this song
