Pearl

Of all the Katy Perry songs A is crazy about, this is my favorite. The other night, on the way to Edsa Shangri-la for an after-concert party, A decided to talk to me about this song.

"It reminds me of you, Ma."

PEARL

She is a pyramid

But with him she's just a grain of sand 

This love's too strong like mice and men

Squeezing out the life that should be let in

 She was a hurricane-cane-cane-cane

But now she's just a gust of wind 

She used to set the sails of a thousand ships

 Was a force to be reckoned with

She could be a statue of liberty

She could be a Joan of Arc

But he's scared of the light that's inside of her

So he keeps her in the dark

Oh, she used to be a pearl...

Ohh Yeah, she used to rule the world...

Ohh Can't believe she's become a shell of herself 

'Cause she used to be a pearl 

She was unstoppable

Moved fast just like an avalanche

But now she's stuck deep in cement

Wishing that they'd never ever met

She could be a statue of liberty

She could be a Joan of Arc

But he's scared of the light that's inside of her

So he keeps her in the dark

Oh, she used to be a pearl...

Ohh Yeah, she used to rule the world...

Ohh Can't believe she's become a shell of herself 

'Cause she used to be a - 

Do you know that there's a way out, 

there's a way out

there's a way out 

there's a way out

You don't have to be held down, 

be held down

be held down

 be held down

'Cause I used to be a shell

Yeah, I let him rule my world

my world, ohh, yeah

But I woke up and grew strong

And I can still go on

And no one can take my pearl

You don't have to be shell,

No You're the one that rules your world, ohh 

You are strong

and you'll learn that you can still go on

And you'll always be a pearl

She is unstoppable

So yea, this is my anthem this week. I hope you find encouragement in Katy Perry's Pearl and find the strength to find yourself again.
