She said give me perspective
Give me peace of mind I
Cause the world so selective
So lopsided
So unkind

Way back in my
History she said

Empty handed girl
Is that me she said

You are no empty shell
You are no empty shell
You are no empty shell

plucked from the sky like diamond
Plucked from the sky like spring's new leaf

God's will
Or my wish

His head in a book
She said

He don't look up
He don't look up
He don't look up
He don't look up
He don't look still

he thinks he knows me well
He thinks he knows this heart
He's memorized my mind
He's just memorized some lines

the brightest ???
The loudest ???

heavenly bound I said
Now you know

plucked from the sky like diamond
Plucked from the sky like spring's new leaf

God's will
Or my wish
