lyrics

Alainia
She was only three when her mother moved her to the city.
It’s painted bridge fixed like lipstick on the bay.
And she never came to believe or see herself as something pretty,
And among these strangers she grew more and more afraid.
Mother sold her jewelry while Alainia wandered through the streets,
A sullied girl in open doorways begging for a toy.
Until the open-hearted look outside and hear her silent ‘please’,
They know deep inside in her mind you will find it’s her mother’s eyes she sees.
So take it slow and let your fears all go away.
Playin’ coy dressed like a boy with so little joy,
And just how much all those little slurs hurt
she wouldn’t say.
And behind this bruised facade she saw her world destroyed,
Yes it’s strange in our pain how the mind of a child still remains.
So take it slow and let your fears all go away.
Hey, Alainia let us be,
Cuz’ nothin’ stays the same in everything
we see.
Hey, Alainia set us free,
Cuz’ nothin’s wrong with you and there’s nothin’ wrong with me.
When she was nine her father came and took her far away,
At night he played guitar and helped her find her harmony.
He stood her in the mirror and whispered in
her ear “You’re Beautiful!”
In the space of a place filled with grace we can all believe.
So take it slow and let your fears all go away.
Hey, Alainia let us be,
Cuz’ nothin’ stays the same in everything
we see.
Hey, Alainia set us free, Oh so free!
Cuz’ nothin’s wrong with you and there’s nothin’ wrong with me.
Mmm, mmm, nothin’ wrong.
Mmm, mmm, nothin’ wrong.
