Lyrics

Billie sings and gloom turns to humor
Simple truths are rescued from rumor
She both celebrates and redeems
The wisdom of teenage dreams

Billie sings and birds want to listen
Teases them to ask for permission
A voice that needs a world to console
Where tragedy takes its toll

To the loners, the cutters, the misunderstood
The afflicted, addicted, never had a childhood

Billie sings while dancing like demons
A spooky rag doll tossed among heathens
Shakes her lime green Gatorade hair
Writes songs that can sound like prayers

She speaking their language
Let no one condemn
Before her star blazed
Billie was one of them

Billie sings and gloom turns to humor
Simple truths are rescued from rumor
She both celebrates and redeems
The wisdom of teenage dreams
