Barbara Mall - Pearl Lyrics

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
