Black sheep, cryin' those rebel tears
It's a battle to survive these lonely years
Black sheep, you live up to your name
You've been told for way too long that you're the one to blame
You never mean to hurt yourself or anyone around you
But trouble's like a curse, a curse you didn't choose
The house you're in is like a cage, the walls are full o' rage
It's hard to breathe, but hard to leave
(Oh) look up, you're not alone (oh), you'll make a home of your own
(Oh) don't let anyone turn your unique into flaws
(Oh) yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are
(Oh) take those sticks and stones (oh) and make a home of your own
(Oh) every warrior grows from her battles and scars
(Oh) yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are
Black sheep, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Dear black sheep, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
It runs deep, it's insatiable
That hunger to be seen and to be understood
Black sheep, they call me that, too
I've wrestled with the dark, but I made it through
And so will you
(Oh) look up, you're not alone (oh), you'll make a home of your own
(Oh) don't let anyone turn your unique into flaws
(Oh) yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are
Take those sticks and stones (oh) and make a home of your own
(Oh) every warrior grows from her battles and scars
(Oh) yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are
Black sheep, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah
Dear black sheep, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
The house you build, it will be safe and be full o' light and space
You'll finally breathe, my dear black sheep
Look up, you're not alone, you'll make a home of your own
(Ooh) don't let anyone turn your unique into flaws
Yeah, you know that I love you the way that you are
Take those sticks and stones (sticks and stones)
And make a home of your own (all of your own)
Every warrior grows from her battles and scars
And you know that I love you the way that you are (ooh)
And you know that I love you the way that you are (black sheep, ooh)
And you know that I love you the way that you are
Ooh-ooh, black sheep
