The Girl, the Pearl

she's waiting for you to see
she's whispering there's another one inside of me
a lonely girl under fire 
who needs more than your desire
eyeing her body with pleasure 
that's the minute you lost the real in treasure
weave her a blanket of sun beams
its never hard as it seams 
sprinkle  stars under her feet 
don't let her miss a heart beat 
she deserves a garden of hearts 
not going out for beer and darts 
she looks like every woman
but she's one of a kind 
she withstood oppression
she conquered depression
seeing the pearl
seeing the girl 
is all it takes
...to the girl ....to the pearl
