PERRY, Linda

What’s up?

Twenty-five years and my life is still

Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope

For a destination

I realized quickly when I knew I should

That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man

For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed

Just to get it all out what's in my head

And I, I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside

And I take a deep breath and I get real high

And I scream from the top of my lungs

"What's going on?"

And I say, hey

I said "Hey, what's going on?"

And I say, hey

I said "Hey,-what's going on?"

And I try

Oh my God, do I try

I try all the time

In this institution

And I pray

Oh my God, do I pray

I pray every single day

For revolution

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed

…..


Beautiful

Everyday is so wonderful, then suddenly, its hard to breathe

Now and then I get insecure, from all the pain

Im so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say

Words cant bring me down

I am beautiful in every single way

Yes words cant bring me down

So dont you bring me down today

To all your friends you’re delirious

So consumed in all your doom

Trying hard to fill the emptiness, the pieces gone

Left the puzzle undone, is that the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say

Words cant bring you down

Cause you are beautiful in every single way

Yes words cant bring you down

So dont you bring me down today

No matter what we do

No matter what we say

Were the song inside the tune, full of beautiful mistakes

And everywhere we go, the sun will always shine

And tomorrow we might awake on the other side

Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say

Yes words wont bring us down, no

We are beautiful in every single way

Yes words cant bring us down

So dont you bring me down today
