Pearl

Pearl You know life moves us In any kind of way And sometimes to the edge Of what we’re ready to give You know life moves us And sometimes to the wrong places That turn out to be the right places Because they set us free So if you dream of California Walk your way Just tell me Who in the world would want to lose someone like you But I know You will never lose yourself, yourself I know You will never lose yourself You are the pearl That can’t get back into the oyster You don’t want another oyster With its hard shell Still you want a place Where you can hide your beauty Where you don’t have to show How precious you really are But you have friends Who see you shining through Well, everyone Can see you shining through ’Cause you’re a pearl And a pearl cannot be disguised How hard she may try Someone will always see the light she’s got in her The pearl Must leave the rest of her shell And what will she do? She’s bound to bloom like a flower And fly on an angel’s wing So if you dream of California Walk your way Just tell me Who in the world would want to lose someone like you But I know You will never lose yourself, yourself I know You will never lose yourself I know You will never lose yourself, yourself I know You will never lose yourself
