Pebble To A Pearl — Nikka Costa

Baby girl too shy to shine Let everybody else take the light Didn't want to burn too bright So she kept it all inside

Little girl go beat your drum Go and see what all you can become Playin' small don't serve no one Face your fears and you will overcome

'Cause the tears that we been cryin' Been workin' overtime

It's about time that we got our joyful That we got our joyful on

Don't be afraid to live out loud Never squash who you are be proud You're a universal sound Whatcha gotta say, say it loud

Baby don't ya act demure So nobody else feels insecure Be yourself and liberate the world Don't ya be a pebble be a pearl
