This is one that every young person should hear...

Never let someone keep the light inside you suppressed and chained. Trust me, I've been there.  YKWIA, I think you'll like this. Thank you for helping me reclaim my world.

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
Oh yeah she used to rule the world
Oh can't believe she’s become a shell of herself
Cause she used to be a pearl


She was unstoppable
Moved fast as like an avalanche
But now she’s stuck deep in cement
Wishing that they never ever met
She could be a Statue of Liberty
She could be a 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
Oh yeah she used to rule the world
Oh can’t believe she’s become a shell of herself
Cause she used to be a--


Do you know that there’s a way out
There’s a way out
There’s a way out
There’s a way out
You don’t have to be held down
Be held down
Be held down
Be held down


Cause I used to be a shell...
Yeah I let him rule my world
My world Oh yeah


But I woke up and grew strong and I can still go on
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’ll learn
That you can still go on
And you’ll always be a pearl

She is unstoppable
