History Has Its Eyes On You

(album: A Billion Heartbeats - 2020)

Girl, in your eyes
I can see a child waiting
For a sign that the slipper fits
Maybe one day you will find
Your name in lights
All up the strip
Tell your story in a rhyme
Maybe in time
It'll be a hit
And if the haters kill your vibe
Just smile and blow a kiss

Cause history has its eyes on you
History has its eyes on you

Sister, I can see you're tired
Of waiting for a sign
Well this is it
Living in these changing times
Let's redesign how we co-exist
They can't shame you if you fight
So join the line, girl and resist
Always listen to both sides
Take pride and keep those fires lit

Be who you needed
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
When you were younger
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
When you were younger
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
When you were younger
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
When you were younger

Mother, I can see in your eyes
Waiting your whole life
Well this is it
And when your miracle arrives
You'll realise why we exist
Teach your daughters how to climb
And show your sons how to commit
To chase those shivers down their spines
Be kind and never quit

Cause history has its eyes on you
History has its eyes on you
Yeah you
History has its eyes on you
History has its eyes on you
Yeah you, yeah you

Be who you needed
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
When you were younger
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
When you were younger
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
When you were younger
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
Be who you needed
When you were younger
