Repetition of Sounds Analysis Two: John Mayer Daughters

"Daughters"

I know a girl she puts the color inside of my world
She's just like a maze, where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can to stand on the the steps, with my heart in my hands
Now I started to think maybe it's got nothinging to do with me

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Oh you see that skin, it's the same she's been standing in
Since the day, she saw him walking away
Now she's left cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughter too

Oh
Boys you can break find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong, boys soldier on but
Boys would be gone without warmth of a womans good good heart

On behalf of every man looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of the world

So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too
So mothers be good to your daughters too
So mothers be good to your daughters too

The song "Daughters" by John Mayer has many examples of Repetition of sounds. (yellow: assonance, Pink: alliteration) This song relates to my theme of society because it is about how parents are responsible for taking care of their children. It says that fathers and mothers have a responsibility to be good their daughters because they grow up to be mothers and take care of the children of the next generation. without people taking care of their children our society would be ruined.
