Twelve years old Square peg round hole Blue guitar Walks to the park Baggy jeans Fresh white tee My hair flowing free The wind behind me Autumn sky Moss hang high I’m right where I wanna be Cause I never saw myself in magazines And I never saw myself on tv screens And I wondered.. Who am I supposed to be? I had to Love myself I had to love myself You gotta learn to love yourself You gotta love yourself I’ve been told Don’t be too bold Girls don’t do this Girls don’t do that and so on But I listened to my heart I never played that part I’ll choose who I’m gonna be And If I knew back then what I know now I wouldn’t worry if I stood out I’d take those doubts and turn them into Jewels And I would love myself Yeah I would love myself You gotta learn to love yourself You gotta love yourself If I could go back in time I’d look her in the eye And tell her you are so perfect You are so perfect You are so perfect You are so perfect You are so perfect . yeaaaahh! You are so perfect

Here 04:06
I gaze at the sky A cardinal flies by I hear her song I sing along Then a thought creeps in my head Takes me out my element Listing problems A-Z Anxiety and fear and stress Then a little voice inside Tells me I'm gon' be alright I've got everything I need All I gotta do is sing... La la la La la la La la la La la la 2x I gaze at a tree I see a bee He's buzzin' around Where the flowers abound Then a thought creeps in my head Says that I'm inadequate Listing problems A-Z All my insecurities Then a little voice inside Tells me I'm gon' be alright I am everything I need All I gotta do is sing... La la la La la la La la la La la la 4x If I could stay I would stay Here With my blanket and my ginger beer Rockin' solo to the songs I hear The songs I hear out Here 5x La la la La la la La la la La la la 4x

Watching you sleep It's my favorite thing to do when you're lying next to me Am I in your dreams? Singing sweet love songs to you in your sleep Tell me what you're dreaming When you go away Is there something out there That takes your breath away I hope it's me that you see Tell me what you hear When you close your eyes Can you hear my heart strings Strumming lullabies I hope you hear how I feel 'cause you're so peaceful when you sleep And I'm so grateful that you're here with me So I'll keep... Watching you sleep It's my favorite thing to do when you're lying next to me Am I in your dreams? Singing sweet love songs to you in your sleep La da da ,La da da La da da, La da da da da 2x

Changes 04:56
In life we'll go through changes Somebody's gonna let you down Even though we're perfect They may not always stick around It might take some time to figure it out This one thing you need to know It doesn't matter what might happen It's what you do when it does When the starling flies Half around the world Even nature goes through changes Even when a child leaves its mother's womb Human nature goes through changes Trees oh the trees lose their leaves That's what growing tends to do Whispers from the winter's breeze Speaks of me and you One day we will come to see That letting go of old Doesn't mean we're losing you and me, no It only means we've grown When the starling flies Half around the world Even nature goes through changes Even when a child leaves its mother's womb Human nature goes through changes When the cloudy skies cover up the sun Even nature goes through changes When your lover's gon' and leaves you all alone Human nature goes through changes Changes Changes Changes

When you lie next to me I feel like I'm dreaming When you lie close to me I feel reborn Just say the word And I will be here I will be here I will not brag I will not boast all I wanna do is hold you close So just say the word And I will be here I will be here I will be here I will be here

When I was just a little girl I’d go outside and listen to the wind I thought it held all my secrets within Peering out of my window gave me hope There was something out there meant for me I’d see the clouds roll by and the leaves blow down my street I wondered it It’d take my dreams and set them free So I… Tell it to the wind… I tell it to the wind… Everything I hoped for Everything my heart desired Everything I dreamed of Everything that I aspired to.. I tell it to the wind… So I.. Tell it to the wind Now and then I think about that little girl And how she knew so much about her little world But there is wisdom in a child’s eyes And when her world grew in size It wasn’t always what she thought it’d be But as I travel back and forth to distant lands I know the wind still takes me further than I planned So I… (Repeat chorus) Tell it to the wind… I tell it to the wind… Everything I hope for Everything my heart desires Everything I dream of Everything that I aspire to.. Tell it to the wind Tell it to the wind Tell it to the wind (vocalize)
