lyrics

brown girl the world breaks your heart everyday
so you break a heart to get even.
cuz what can you do with this fistful of pain?
what have you left to believe in?

everyone around you
they all whispered about you.
how could they be wrong?

so brown girl grow up like a duckling
but brown girl be swan.
brown girl be swan.

brown girl be learning to smile again.
smile without worry or reason.
the world beat her up,
beat the world to the punch
and punch till she's numb to the feeling

cuz everybody saw you
they got all their eyes on you
expect you to be strong

so brown girl be tough like a duckling
but brown girl be swan.

brown girl be swan.

brown girl be swan.
