Lyrics
I was thinking that I might fly today
I was considering the possibility of flying today.
Just to disprove all the things that you say
To contradict or prove wrong the things you say.
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Being mean doesn't require any special skill or talent.
Your words can crush things that are unseen
Your words have the power to damage unseen things.
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
Kindly handle me with care; I am sensitive.
And I'd like to stay that way
I prefer to remain sensitive, and I request your understanding.
You always tell me that it's impossible
You consistently claim that gaining respect as a girl is impossible.
To be respected, and be a girl
A reflection on the complexities of being a girl and earning respect.
Why's it gotta be so complicated
Questioning why things have to be so intricate.
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated
Asking why you inform me if I'm disliked or hated.
Oh please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
Cautioning to handle with care as sensitivity is present.
And I'd like to stay that way
Expressing the desire to maintain sensitivity.
When I was thinking, that it might do some good
Contemplating the idea that stealing from cynics could be beneficial.
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
Suggesting taking from cynics to fulfill a positive outcome.
That way what they believe will have taken place
Desiring the cynics' beliefs to be replaced by a positive event.
And we can give it to everybody who have some faith
Intending to share with those who have faith in a better outcome.
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
Requesting careful treatment due to sensitivity.
And I'd like to stay that way
Expressing the wish to maintain sensitivity.
I have this theory, that if we're told we're bad
Proposing a theory that being labeled as bad shapes our self-perception.
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have
Highlighting the potential impact of negative labels on self-identity.
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Suggesting that surrounding oneself with beauty may lead to positive transformation.
Someday we will become what we see
Envisioning becoming what we see in a beautiful surrounding.
'Cause anyone can start a conflict
Stating the ease of starting a conflict but emphasizing the difficulty of ignoring it.
It's harder yet to disregard it
Expressing a preference for seeing the world from a different perspective.
I'd rather see the world from another angle
Acknowledging the presence of everyday angels in the world.
We are everyday angels
Emphasizing the need for caution due to the desire to maintain sensitivity.
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way
Reiterating the preference to remain sensitive.
