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.
