Black Pearl

Walking on this path of life, I always knew
I was different and never knew why or how
There is this black shiny pearl
In the middle of white pearls in a bowl

Possessing a mind of his own and hard to change it
Always looking around him to see the needs of others
Seeing life as a big long journey full of mystery
Knowing very well what he wants to achieve

Life as been good so far but something missing
Searching around me, looking with my sensitive eyes
One day, someone made me realize what I really was searching
From that moment on I knew who I really was

A lonesome little pearl surrounded by mountains
Unable to see further and kept in the dark
Once the light had shine I saw the beauty of my shiny armor
Still innocent discover the pleasure of love

With the light shinning in the valley
I see myself no different than anyone else
But I learned that in life I must live today,
Since yesterday is passed, and tomorrow is mystery

I must go on following my gentle path of life
Looking forward for what will happen
Never look back nor regret what I have experienced
What a lovely path I have discover
No longer lonesome in my heart
