Lyrics

Verse 1
My sweet little tourmaline
You'll become what they define
They will cut your wings
And cave your mind
You'll learn new things
And never be left behindChorus
One day again
All will be fine
Oh tourmaline
And you will see
The sun will shine
Oh little tourmaline
My little tourmalineVerse 2
My sweet little tourmaline
You'll become what they define
They will cut your claws
And shape your soul
You'll learn their laws
Until you're kept in controlChorus
One day again
All will be fine
Oh tourmaline
And you will see
The sun will shine
Oh little tourmalineBridge
My sweet little tourmaline
You might become what they define
We didn't cut your wings
We didn't cut your claws
We didn't do those things
But still obey their lawsOutro
Oh, my sweet little tourmaline
One day again you'll shine
Sweet little tourmaline
One day again you'll shine
You'll shine
My little tourmaline
