Mama's high heels, cherry lipstick
And a goodwill dress
Play pretending, danced for the mirror
A fairytale princess
Pretty things you think you need
But don't make you beautiful
Pretty things will rot with love
Pretty things will fade with time
It's what's inside that makes you shine
It's only natural
Tables turning
And gracefully I'll learn
How to cradle
The one who raised me
Who'll be to fragile for this world
It's what inside that makes you shine
Selfless and faithful
As good as you should be
Open and fearless
Oh what a gift you gave me
Pretty things are your to hold
What lived inside of you still shines
