Emerald -

V1.

You’ve spent your entire life just being who you are

And you thought that was all you’d ever have to be.

But your parents spoiled you rotten, and yeah, you know

So now you’re used to always getting what you want.

Ch1.

But you’ve grown up, and everything leans in on you

You see a girl, and all you want is her forever.

But now you’re just a little boy and she doesn’t want you

But you can’t say goodbye to that amazing emerald endeavour.

V2.

Living in an apartment, but you don’t wanna take out the garbage

You realise nothing is how it used to be, anymore

So will you sit back and let all the rubbish pile up?

You realise you’re not that child with the loud voice, anymore.

And all you want is that woman with the long, golden hair

Green eyes that sparkle such a sweet, emerald stare.

You can’t imagine God could make something so beautiful

But you can’t accept that ring on her finger is really there.

Ch2.

So boy, you’re all grown up, and buildings tower over you

Your parents aren’t here to let you know you’re always loved.

So boy, you better grow up and do the work you’ve gotta do

Say goodbye to that woman because she’s already loved.

V3.

Wake up, wake up, stop dreaming of that rose,

Wake up, wake up, forget that emerald girl.

This time you can’t win, so why don’t you accept it?

You can’t have this one, the one you love…

Ch3.

See, now you’ve grown up, those old clothes don’t fit you

Open your eyes and realise the man that you are.

Oh boy, how you’ve grown up and thrown away all your despair

And one of these days you’ll see emeralds are everywhere…

Emeralds are everywhere….
