Treasures
No Big Deal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It serves no purpose
Just know what you have
And know you deserve it
And never permit to be used like a tool
Or let their ignorance rule
We are treasures but That does not mean we
Should go down in the sand
Let's come together and
Vow forever to
Make this one final stand
Climbing the rungs
The ladder swings lightly
See I'm holding on
So physics won't spite me
I could fall at any second
But this new direction feels so right
We are treasures but
That does not mean we
Should go down in the sand
Let's come together and
Vow forever to
Make this one final stand
We are treasures and
We will shine on so
There is no need to
Leave the light on just
Dance in darkness and
Move in circles and
Nothing hurtful 'cuz
We are treasures but
That does not mean we
Should go down in the sand
Let's come together and
Vow forever to
Make this one final stand
