Dry your eyes; no one’s coming for you
And you know you’re ugly
Yeah, that should keep you in tune
And you can dry your dreams
Cause you won’t, you won’t be leaving this room
And don’t go looking to hold my hand
Cause I won’t, I won’t give to you

Well, I’ve had my own three babies
And they’ve loved me unconditionally
It’s taken me all this time
To realize you’ve been the lie
Now, God’s truth that He’s provide
Has reached deep inside
I’ve held this little girl by the hand
And she’s left you and this room behind

And she’s safe with me
She’s safe with me now, and my girls
And you can stand, you can stand all alone
Cause it’s a privilege, it’s a privilege to give life

Cause I’ve had my own three babies
And they’ve loved me unconditionally
It’s taken me all this time
To realize you’ve the lie
Now, God’s truth that He’s provide
Has reached deep inside
I’ve held this little girl by the hand
And she’s left you and this room behind
And it’s a privilege to give life
It’s a privilege, not a right
