One Tiny Taste
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I have earth in my voice, dear
The world is my oyster and
I am its pearly white smile
I have fortune and freedom
And men when I need 'em
My life has charmed for a while
But when I was young and obedient and dumb
I was led to do terrible things
By the state and the church
And my mother who urged me
To give up my dreams for a ring
Tiny little girl yearning for
The world settled for a wedding
Tiny little groom marching
To his doom never understanding
Tiny little wife, tiny little life, tiny little ending
I was building a prison
I could have been living a life
Lonely little man playing with
Your hand, wishing you were bolder
Secrets in a jar, fear of who
You are weighing on your shoulder
Holding it inside, holding very tight, slowly growing older
You're building a prison, you could have been living a life
The world is so wide and before we have died
We will only have one tiny taste
If you run off and hide like a wimpering child
Just think of the life you could waste
Break out of your prison
It's time to start living
You've only been given one life
You've only been given one life
You've only been given one life
