Black Sheep

(album: This Is Not The End - 2018)

Black sheep, crying those rebel tears
It's a battle to survive these lonely years
Black sheep, you live up to your name
You've been told for way too long that you're the one to blame

You never mean to hurt yourself or anyone around you
But trouble's like a curse, a curse you didn't choose
The house you're in is like a cage
The walls 'n floors rage
It's hard to breathe
But hard to leave

Look up you're not alone
You'll make a home of your own
Don't let anyone turn your unique into flaws
Yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are

Take those sticks and stones
And make a home of your own
Every warrior grows from her battles and scars
Yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are

Black sheep
Dear black sheep

It runs deep, it's insatiable
That hunger to be seen and to be understood
Black sheep, they call me that too
I've wrestled with the dark
But I made it through
And so will you

Look up you're not alone
You'll make a home of your own
Don't let anyone turn your unique into flaws
Yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are

Take those sticks and stones
And make a home of your own
Every warrior grows from her battles and scars
Yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are

Black sheep
Dear black sheep

The house you build that will be safe and be full of light and space
You'll finally breathe my dear black sheep

Look up you're not alone
You'll make a home of your own
Don't let anyone turn your unique into flaws
Yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are

Take those sticks and stones
And make a home of your own
Every warrior grows from her battles and scars
Yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are
And, you know that I love you the way that you are
Black sheep
Yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are
Ooh... black sheep
