Little girl has tear-filled eyes this morning
But it's not the rain
It's her buddies
Who tell her she's fat
That she's ugly, that she's worth nothing
Seeing her cry
Maybe makes them feel good
She darkens pages
She writes poems
She talks about journeys
To forget problems
Her heart is growing older
But she's only a child
You'll set sail
One day of course
You'll see, my pretty, my pretty
Happiness is a gift
That we find when we forget ourselves
You'll see, my pretty, my pretty
Soon you'll laugh so hard
That the earth will shake with envy
Go fearless and smile
Oh my pretty
Oh my pretty
Go fearless and smile
Oh my pretty
Oh my pretty
Little girl is scared to walk into class
She wants to be invisible
To blend into the crowd
For her, there's no love
There's only judges with backpacks
Who wait for her in the yard
What is she guilty of
She grabs her guitar
To escape a bit
She makes up stories
Of marvelous princes
She draws mirages
With her child's eyes
You'll set sail
And death takes its time
You'll see, my pretty, my pretty
Happiness is a gift
That we find when we forget ourselves
You'll see, my pretty, my pretty
Soon you'll laugh so hard
That the earth will shake with envy
Go fearless and smile
Oh my pretty
Oh my pretty
Go fearless and smile
Oh my pretty
Oh my pretty
Little girl is gifted
She writes poems
At night in her notebook
She tells herself
You'll see, my pretty, my pretty
Happiness is a treasure
That we find when we forget ourselves
You'll see, my pretty, my pretty
Happiness is a gift
That we find when we forget ourselves
You'll see, my pretty, my pretty
Soon you'll laugh so hard
That the earth will shake with envy
Go fearless and smile
Oh my pretty
Oh my pretty
Go fearless and smile
Oh my pretty
Oh my pretty
Oh my pretty
