about

Inspired by Perfect, by Rachel Joyce.

lyrics

She, our vision of motherhood
But the mothers think she’s no good
Their job is to talk
A bird, caged by a gentleman
Thought she could start again
Slow and learn to walk
Innocent is she, innocent is she
She offers to make amends
Throws herself at being a friend
Giving naturally
She worries about the past
Things are best remaining dark
We can’t make her see
Innocent is she, innocent is she
Becomes who she is for a moment in time
Her guard is down but she’s guarding
Her dreams to travel unravel
Want to wrap her up warm
Innocent is she, innocent is she
We want to protect this one
But she sings her own song, ‘Que Sera Sera’
She’s our vision of womanhood
To us she is only good
Watch her shooting star
Innocent is she, innocent is she...
