Pearls
Legacy of Love: Pearls Passed Through Generations
Lyrics
These pearls from my mother, passed down from her mother
The pearls are heirlooms passed down maternally through generations.
Of everything they gave me, I treasure them most
Among all possessions received, the pearls hold the highest value.
Can't wear them, can't hold them, don't come from the ocean
The pearls aren't wearable or physical; they possess intangible significance and don't originate from the sea.
Oh, they're way more precious than anything I own
Their value surpasses that of any material possession.
They're written in my soul
The essence and significance of the pearls are deeply ingrained within the person.
Remember who you are and don't forget to pray
Advice to remember one's identity and to maintain a spiritual connection through prayer.
Make sure he's your best friend when you give your heart away
Guidance on relationships: ensure the partner is a best friend before giving them your heart.
Be kind, be strong, be someone everyone can count on
Encouragement to exhibit kindness, strength, and reliability for others.
Yeah, someday I'm gonna give my little girl these pearls, oh yeah, yeah
Expresses the intention to pass the pearls to a future daughter, symbolizing imparting wisdom.
I'll teach her about make-up, boyfriends and break-ups
Plans to educate the daughter about various aspects of life such as makeup, relationships, and handling breakups.
I'll share all the wisdom I've ever learned
The intention to share accumulated wisdom and experiences.
Like beauty's on the inside and give it your best try
Emphasizes inner beauty and the importance of giving one's best effort.
I'll pass down the same words, I've always heard
Continuing the tradition of passing down wisdom through familiar phrases or teachings.
And she'll carry them with her
The daughter will carry forward the values and teachings inherited.
Remember who you are and don't forget to pray
Reiteration of advice on identity and spirituality through prayer.
Make sure he's your best friend when you give your heart away
Continued advice on relationships, emphasizing friendship before commitment.
Be kind, be strong, be someone everyone can count on
Encouragement to embody traits that make one dependable to others.
Yeah, someday I'm gonna give my little girl these pearls
Reaffirmation of the intention to pass the pearls to a future daughter.
She'll tell her daughter and she'll tell hers too
Portrays the continuation of passing the pearls through successive generations.
I've saved these pearls just for you, just for you
Reiterates the idea of preserving the pearls for future generations.
Remember who you are and don't forget to pray
Reminder to maintain a sense of identity and spiritual connection through prayer.
Make sure he's your best friend when you give your heart away
Repeated guidance on relationships and choosing a best friend as a partner.
Yeah, be kind, be strong, be someone everyone can count on
Encouragement to exhibit kindness, strength, and reliability to others.
Yeah, someday I'm gonna give my little girl, oh
Expresses the anticipation of passing the pearls to a future daughter.
Someday I'm gonna give my little girl these pearls
Reaffirms the intention to pass down the pearls to a future generation.
These precious pearls
