lyrics
'Til your eyes find me I'm strong as my bones
'Til then here I stand, I am strong as my bones
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones
Then only then I am all self-doubt
All my will and my won't fly out of my mouth
Like a little white dove that you've trained so well
To sing prettily along to another bird's song
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones
Meanwhile I’m tall, I am tow'ring above
All your hate in your soul can't undo this self-love
Like a little white dove that will soar on the wind
Proudly bruising my lungs with the songs I have sung
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones
I'll beat my breast cry a great fearsome cry
See you cowering then, as I fly high
And when I am done, oh I’ll swoop on down
Seeking those eyes of judgement, I'll peck 'em out
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones
But for now I belong to no beast, man, or thing
My own self is my own I am strong as my bones
Like a fierce bird of prey that knows only the hunt
With a strength you don't know how your pretty bird's flown
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'Til then, only then I am strong as my bones
