lyrics

What is the base of beauty seen?
Who then decides the fate?
I never knew another tongue before I knew my own
So to decide another's skin of greater value than my own
Is to forget my mother's name and all of those from whom I came
To break away, break away

I had not taught a guiding word
I just assumed that it would come
To raise a child with sense of pride
The harm of bitter years undone
God please forgive my négligé
I will prepare my future songs
With patience and déterminée
And to survive a wicked world
And break away, break away, break away

What does not grow, it ain't meant to do it
We each are born with cause and rhyme
To try to change what you intuit is to deflect your natural time
What does not grow- it ain't meant to do it
We each are born with cause and rhyme
To try to change what you intuit is to depress your natural high

How little of myself I knew before I went to try and change
To fit the mold of chosen few- it causes everlasting pain
The market model of success is to convince 'em you're a star
The curse of starving to impress is never knowing how
Beautiful you are
Break away, break away, break away (repeat)
