Black Sheep

[Verse 1]
Black sheep, cryin' those rebel tears
It's a battle to survive these lonely years
Black sheep, you live up to your name
You've been told for way too long that you're the one to blame

[Pre-Chorus]
You never mean to hurt yourself or anyone around you
But trouble's like a curse, a curse you didn't choose
The house you're in is like a cage, the walls are full o' rage
It's hard to breathe, but hard to leave

[Chorus]
(Oh) Look up, you're not alone (Oh), you'll make a home of your own
(Oh) Don't let anyone turn your unique into flaws
(Oh) Yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are
(Oh) Take those sticks and stones (Oh) and make a home of your own
(Oh) Every warrior grows from her battles and scars
(Oh) Yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are

[Post-Chorus]
Black sheep, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Dear black sheep, oh-ooh-ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
It runs deep, it's insatiable
That hunger to be seen and to be understood
Black sheep, they call me that, too
I've wrestled with the dark, but I made it through
And so will you

[Chorus]
(Oh) Look up, you're not alone (Oh), you'll make a home of your own
(Oh) Don't let anyone turn your unique into flaws
(Oh) Yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are
Take those sticks and stones (Oh) and make a home of your own
(Oh) Every warrior grows from her battles and scars
(Oh) Yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are

[Post-Chorus]
Black sheep, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah
Dear black sheep, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
The house you build, it will be safe and be full o' light and space
You'll finally breathe, my dear black sheep

[Chorus]
Look up, you're not alone, you'll make a home of your own
(Ooh) don't let anyone turn your unique into flaws
Yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are
Take those sticks and stones (Sticks and stones)
And make a home of your own (All of your own)
Every warrior grows from her battles and scars
And you know that I love you the way that you are (Ooh)

[Outro]
And you know that I love you the way that you are (Black sheep, ooh)
And you know that I love you the way that you are
Ooh-ooh, black sheep
