lyrics

These are two old shoes but I love what they do
Well, they bear me here and there on my way
And my favorite old jeans, oh well, they’re ripping at the seams
But I find that I admire their decay

Here’s my method too, for hardly ever being blue
Hardly shy or ever hiding away
I open my heart ever day from the start
Like you’d open up an old attaché

For every reason the world gives you
To be nothing but an orphan or a pawn
Catch your reflection on the water kid
You thought you were a duckling, you’re a swan
You’re a swan

And who do you spare with your glow in there?
Tucked up your sleeve instead of given away
The world needs your power more with every passing hour
Needs your light more with every passing day

So, Lovely, by all means, in your old shoes and your jeans
Accord yourself with all the grace of a flower
You don’t have to compete to offer up something sweet
To shine your light on the day or the hour

For every moment you could foment
Thoughts of loneliness or cause to be afraid
Line your sturdy hearts up children, throw them open
And behold the world you made World you made
