Lyrics Let Me Be the Pearl - Judie Tzuke

It feels so cold today
The wind is breaking through the ice I froze around my heart
The world looks much more frightening through the cracks in the wall
I'm finding it hard to face the world outside.
There's so much fear in me, locked away so you can't see
So you won't know
A coward lives in me
It thrives with every blow life deals
I can't seem to win the battle on my own

Put me in your pocket, keep your hand around me
Make me feel safe within you
Till I feel brave enough to stand beside you
Put me in your pocket, keep your hand around me
Make me feel safe within you
Till I feel brave enough to stand beside you

Let me be the pearl
Growing in the oyster shell
Let me be the pearl
Living in your ocean
Let me be the pearl
Growing in the oyster shell
Let me be the pearl
Living in your ocean

It feels so cold today
The wind is breaking through the ice I froze around my heart
You will never know how deep the feeling goes
For so long these doors were closed

Put me in your pocket, keep your hand around me
Make me feel safe within you
Till I feel brave enough to stand beside you
Put me in your pocket, keep your hand around me
Make me feel safe within you
Till I feel brave enough to stand beside you

Let me be the pearl
Growing in the oyster shell
Let me be the pearl
Living in your ocean
Let me be the pearl
Growing in the oyster shell
Let me be the pearl
Living in your ocean

Let me be the pearl
