GOLD by Kate Diaz

This is a song I wrote for my English class, about a book called The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison.

LYRICS:

Verse 1:
Just 'cause her eyes aren't, she's not blue.
The world she is in needs a-a thick skin.
Keep an unblinking gaze when seeing different shades.
Don't just look at her as she cries.
Look through her eyes.

Chorus:
She can't erase what she has seen,
And who they've made her be.
She dreams to change how she's seen,
And find a way to be happy.

Just 'cause her eyes aren't, she's not blue,
And she pulls through.
Despite what she's told,
She still shines gold. Gold. Gold.

Verse 2:
From the other side o-of the tracks,
She crosses lines that ho-old her back.
Uninvent that white picket fence.
Fears where she'll be, when ends don't meet.
When times get dark, shine, Golden Star.

CHORUS x 2, but with last line:
She still shines, she still shines gold. Gold. Gold.

Just 'cause her eyes aren't, she's not blue.

Hi Kate,

I know I told you on a previous song of yours how much I enjoy your method of guitar strumming and who it reminded me of. Well, that hasn't changed and I love the clever original song you created.  I enjoy your videos to a great extent and will always be watching for your next one to appear. Outstanding performance!
