An Oyster, A Pearl

Write what you know and let your feelings show

Be who you are and give all that you've got

It's easy and as hard as this

Though you try to resist

It's just the way of this world

Let it be your oyster, your pearl

Make you an honest girl

Let it be your oyster, your pearl

Be just where you are and content with your lot

Oh, but try to look far as you wish on a star

It's easy and as hard as this

You must try to persist

It's just the way of this world

Let it be your oyster, your pearl

Make you an honest girl

Let it be your oyster, your pearl
