Let Me Be The Pearl - Judie Tzuke

It feels so cold today

The wind is breaking through the ice I froze around my heart

The world looks much more frightening through the cracks in the wall

I’m finding it hard to face the world outside

There’s so much fear in me, locked away so you can’t see

So you won’t know

A coward lives in me

It thrives with every blow life deals

I can’t seem to win the battle on my own

Put me in your pocket, keep your hand around me

Make me feel safe within you

Till I feel brave enough to stand beside you

Put me in your pocket, keep your hand around me

Make me feel safe within you

Till I feel brave enough to stand beside you

Let me be the pearl

Growing in the oyster shell

Let me be the pearl

Living in your ocean

Let me be the pearl

Growing in the oyster shell

Let me be the pearl

Living in your ocean

It feels so cold today

The wind is breaking through the ice I froze around my heart

You will never know how deep the feeling goes

For so long these doors were closed

Put me in your pocket, keep your hand around me

Make me feel safe within you

Till I feel brave enough to stand beside you

Put me in your pocket, keep your hand around me

Make me feel safe within you

Till I feel brave enough to stand beside you

Let me be the pearl

Growing in the oyster shell

Let me be the pearl

Living in your ocean

Let me be the pearl

Growing in the oyster shell

Let me be the pearl

Living in your ocean

Let me be the pearl

Let me be the pearl

Let me be the pearl
