I Wish I Was Not Born As A Daughter  

 

Glittering shining from head to toe
I just took the wedding vows
Surrounded by faces all new
My eyes wandered looking for you

Wanted you to hold me tight

Saw you smiling with teary eyes

Few moments ago, I belonged to you  

Now I have a family completely new
You hugged me and wiped my tears
You never looked so weak all these years
I wanted to say let’s go home
But soon realized I have a new home
I wished I could never leave you today

But tradition is above us they say

I wished so much this day could have come little late
But then how can I fight my fate
You never made me feel this, mother

But today I wish I was not born as a daughter.
