I feel waves of life move through me with universal rhythm
Like an oyster, I have no eyes to see my own pearl
I form my little shell, defenseless to the ocean’s swell
Unlike an oyster, I am learning to treasure my inner self
I’m sorry oysters, if I underestimated you
As a woman, people often underestimate me
I am a daughter of the sea
I want to remind every girl
That she is a precious pearl
Within her lies the whole world
