lyrics

[Chorus v1]
It must be perfect
It must be beautiful
It must be full of wonder
Because of what it comes from
Because of where it comes from
Because of who it comes from

[Verse 1]
Even opposite seems
Place of darkness is
Everybody food chain
Struggles to exist
Meal for someone else
Still I choose believe this:
It must be perfect

[Chorus v2]
You must be perfect
You must be beautiful
You must be full of wonder
Because of what you come from
Because of where you come from
Because of who you come from

[Verse 2]
Even opposite seems
Lips which lie to me
Trust for exploitation
Mind manipulate
Done and dust betray
Still I choose believe this:
You must be perfect

[Instrumental]

[Chorus v3]
I must be perfect
I must be beautiful
I must be full of wonder
Because of what I come from
Because of where I come from
Because of who I come from

[Verse 3]
Even opposite seems
Will to selfish serve
Taste for ignorance bliss
Prone to prejudice
Wont to judgement pass
Still I choose believe this:
I must be perfect

[Spoken]
I apologise if your religion tells you something different.
