Cover Your Eyes

Cover your eyes, and reach into your ears

Pull out what you've heard and replace it with anything

Add to your body, or take some away

Cut it and fill it in, whatever it takes, ah

To be some sort of beautiful

Phony and frightening

Some sort of beautiful

Phony and frightening

Oh, we must care for these little ones

We must keep them safe from the horrible ideas

And the people who have them

They're too young for wondering

Too young for wishing to be something

Other than what they were meant to be

Tell them they're beautiful

And perfectly placed

Tell them they're beautiful

And perfectly placed

Love and be loved

Take air into your lungs

And turn it into the most beautiful sound you can make

Ah, ah, ah

Cover your eyes, and reach into your ears

Pull out what you've heard and replace it with anything
