My Brightest Diamond

( Awry – Awry (a.k.a The Orange Album), 2001 )

You are a little elephant
Young and full of wonder
Grow, grow
You are my bright eyes
Bold and yet scared of butterflies
Grow, grow
Though your dreams are fading
Grow, grow

You are a little elephant
Staring at the scab on your knee
Grow, grow
Though you’re scared and shaking
Grow, grow
Grow, grow
Grow, grow

And throw your fears in a garbage can
Your fears in a garbage can
And be brave, brave, brave
Brave, brave elephant
(you can be brave, you can be brave
You can be brave, you can...)
Be brave, be brave
Brave elephant
Brave elephant
Brave elephant
Brave elephant
