Pearl Worth Defending
With the morning sun
And the danger done
I'm a wasted life
All I own I owe to you
When my mourning takes
All those boughs we break
I can make it right
All the while, all the while
Because I'm worth defending
I'm workin' on another try
Oh, I'm worth defending
Mama, won't you show me why
Ooh why
All these darkened days
Disheartening games we play
Please no more hating lies
I'm just a child
I'm your child
Oh, I'm worth defending
I'm workin' on another try
Oh, I'm worth defending
Daddy, don't you make me cry
All those times you told me
I'm the one to throw away
You were wrong
I had to take the time to let you make your own mistakes
You know I still belong
Oh I still belong
All I know, I feel it deep in my heart
I don't wanna fight
I need you here to life me through my sorrows
And I will rise, oh rise
Because I'm worth defending
I'm workin' on another try
Oh, I'm worth defending
Mama won't you show me why
Oh, I'm worth defending
I'm workin' on another try
Oh, I'm worth defending
Daddy don't you make me cry
