Frida - Holy Holy

It’s dawning on me, I see it now

The world you came into, not what I thought I found, and

I see it clearly, you came to me

With the clearest skies, a voice that I could not believe

You said it slowly, you said it true

You asked me why she was there in the light with you

And she can’t do that, it’s not her place

You echoed back to me what you had learned to say

I could find it, plain to see

Why would I expect that it could ever be, and

Did I fail you and did I fall

I hope that we can find a place when we were all alone and

I could explain it, it’s not like that

You know your mother, all that was asked

And now you’re with me, my only son

My only daughter, the only one

I read your stories late at night

Of what he did and how he conquered all the light, and

He was so smart, and he was strong

He had all the answers, and he was never wrong, and

He was the enemy, he was the star, and

He was a friend, and he was in charge, and

He was good looking, the head of the pack

And where was she?

She was nowhere, she was lost

She was hiding, she was not

She was pretty, she was the prize

She was the glory, she was inside

And she was beauty, she was a child

And she wore dresses, her eyes were wide

Her hair was glory, the trains were long

And she was always

On the outside looking in

On the outside looking in

On the outside looking in

Couldn’t be back where I came

Couldn’t be lost in the rain

Couldn’t be wearing that again

Couldn’t be where you should’ve been saved

Couldn’t be walking back from parks in dark at late and all alone

Couldn’t be where I was

Can you just call me when you’re safe and home and

Don’t you go there, don’t you wait at night

Don’t you trust and don’t you wait

And don’t you be alone when you’re driving, and

Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you

Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you know that

The world was not made for the girls but for the boys, and

I know it’s wrong, no I know it’s not right

Your eyes can tell a thousand lies that I just can not find, and

Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you

Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you know that

Don’t you stay there

On the outside

On the outside
