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
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 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
Yeah, she used to rule the world

Moved fast just like an avalanche
But now she's stuck deep in cement

She could be a Statue of Liberty
She could be Joan of Arc

So he keeps her in the dark

Oh, she used to be a pearl

And no one can take my pearl

You don't have to be a shell, no
You're the one that rules your world, oh
You are strong
And you learn
That you can still go on

And you'll always be a
pearl

She is unstoppable
