One Tiny Taste

I have earth in my voice, dear, the world is my oyster and I am its pearly white smile
 I have fortune and freedom and men when I need 'em
 My life has charmed for a while
 But when I was young and obedient and dumb
 I was led to do terrible things
 By the state and the church and my mother who urged me
 To give up my dreams for a ring
 Tiny little girl yearning for the world settled for a wedding
 Tiny little groom marching to his doom never understanding
 Tiny little wife, tiny little life, tiny little ending
 I was building a prison
 I could have been living a life
 Lonely little man playing with your hand, wishing you were bolder
 Secrets in a jar, fear of who you are weighing on your shoulder
 Holding it inside, holding very tight, slowly growing older
 You're building a prison, you could have been living a life
 The world is so wide and before we have died we will pnly have one tiny taste
 If you run off and hide like a wimpering child, just think of the life you could waste
 Break out of your prison
 It's time to start living
 You've only been given one life
 You've only been given one life
 You've only been given one life
