Oh Emily, I believe there ain’t much of nothing
That we can change in this world
Except for our own mind and heart
To be more kind and brave in the face of it all

Everyone feels like a victim inside
For the pride ever righteous and true
And don’t we all get offended
When things don’t bend
In the way we’re convinced they should do

Emily, I believe there’s not a single mind
That you will change in the end
Except for your own one
And once you have grown some
This song might make sense to you then

See everyone’s frightened inside
We tend to hide
From ourselves as we put up our walls
And no you will never make anyone better
By shouting them down at the mall

Emily, I can see deep down we both agree
Everyone just wants to be loved
But our souls are never free from the bird and the bee
Uncorrupted when push comes to shove
