Colours

My mother taught me how speak my truth

But father warned me never to accuse

This is a man's world

But I’ll be my own girl

I’d prayed and prayed hoping to break through

Asked the one above me heal move Mountains too

Be still and wait oh

That’s what he said oh

You never gave it up

It never pulled you down

Back then my heart was cold

But now it’s turned to gold

I wanna see the colours of the trees

I’d like to feel the wind beneath my wings

I wanna hear my heart beating within

So where do I begin

Paying for my sins

Paying for my sins

He’d always told me family will stay true

But she warned me not everyone will love you

This is a man’s world

So go be your own girl

You never gave it up

It never pulled you down

Back then my heart was cold

And now it’s turned to gold

I wanna see the colours of the trees

I’d like to feel the wind beneath my wings

I wanna hear my heart beating within

So where do I begin

Paying for my sins

Paying for my sins

This is a man’s world

This is a man’s world

But I’ll be my own girl

I’ll be my own girl

This is a man’s world

But I’ll be my own girl

I’ll be my own girl
