Dawn Is Up (Brian's Inspirational Song Book)

3. I'm An Emerald

Hi Emeralds! You're about to view one of my songs with deep meanings. Well, I can write even deeper but I'm afraid you might misunderstand the meaning of the song so I purposely made it shallower. :)

Basically, this whole song uses emeralds to symbolise all the meaning, therefore making this song metaphorical. Like other gemstones, emeralds bring a lot of benefits to humans and I like what they bring. I don't want to tell you because I want you to find out yourself. :)

Oh, and this song MAY appear in 1DTTR. I'm not sure at the moment.

Please VOTE and COMMENT because it'll make me really happy to know that someone actually enjoys reading the lyrics of this song. :)

I may be left at the corner of their room   …11 syllables

But I’ll always sparkle under the bright lights   …11

Because that’s me   …4

I may be smaller than what they predicted   …11

But I’m always big when I look at myself   …11

Because that’s me   …4

I know all the pain behind those quiet eyes   …11

And the whimpering by the wet pillow   …10

For this world has lost its balance   …8

I know I’m not the only one   …8

Who is left out in the midst of vines   …9

I see through all the eyes   …6

And I would like to make a change   …8

Because   …2

I’m an emerald   …5

I’ll heal all the low spirits   …7

So you can stop the frowning   …7

I’m an emerald   …5

I’ll bring peace to all the minds   …7

So you can bring forth a smile   …7

It doesn’t matter whether I’m green like a new shoot   …13

Or they’re brown like a big tree trunk   …8

I’ll still show everyone their perfect reflection   …12

Because I’m an emerald   …7

I may not be the perfect gem in their eyes   …11

But I’m a flawless diamond in my own mind   …11

Because that’s me   …4

I may not have the most attractive colour   …11

But I know my beauty is more than skin deep   …11

Because that’s me   …4

I know all the pain behind those quiet eyes   …11

And the whimpering by the wet pillow   …10

For this world has lost its balance   …8

I know I’m not the only one   …8

Who is left out in the midst of vines   …9

I see through all the eyes   …6

And I would like to make a change   …8

Because   …2

I’m an emerald   …5

I’ll heal all the low spirits   …7

So you can stop the frowning   …7

I’m an emerald   …5

I’ll bring peace to all the minds   …7

So you can bring forth a smile   …7

It doesn’t matter whether I’m green like a new shoot   …13

Or they’re brown like a big tree trunk   …8

I’ll still show everyone their perfect reflection   …12

Because I’m an emerald   …7

You’re not alone   …4

I brought my blade   …4

Let’s cut our way out together   …9

You’re not alone   …4

I’ll sit beside you   …5

Let’s look bigger in their tunnel vision   …10

I’ll raise your head   …4

And show you the sky is still bright   …8

So there's no reason to cry   ...7

I may go through all these too   …7

But that doesn’t mean my heart shattered   …8

Because I know I’m still a sharp axe   …9

And you should know that you’re one too   …8

I saw more people in the vine forest   …10

So would you be an emerald too?   …9

I’m an emerald   …5

I’ll heal all the low spirits   …7

So you can stop the frowning   …7

I’m an emerald   …5

I’ll bring peace to all the minds   …7

So you can bring forth a smile   …7

It doesn’t matter whether I’m green like a new shoot   …13

Or they’re brown like a big tree trunk   …8

I’ll still show everyone their perfect reflection   …12

Because I’m an emerald   …7

Oooh   …1

I’m an emerald   …5

Oooh woah oh oh   …4

Woooah oh oh   …3

Ooooohooooooh   …2

I saw more people in the vine forest   …10

So would you be an emerald too?   …9
