I remember when daddy said What do you want to be? I said I wanna be a mermaid and to live under the sea Well I knew it wouldn't work out as I looked down to my feet Then my granddad paid me my very first record And that's when it changed for me It made me smile, made me sing, made my worries fly away Lifting me up, setting me free I could be Billie Holiday In the silence hard to think about When in reality you gotta sit back Just relax, and let it happen naturally I went to sit by the keys To work on my first song I had the melodies in my head But they were coming out all wrong Then I worked out some harmonies, that went, (Woah) And then that sweet sound spoke to me And told where I belong It made me smile, made me sing, made my worries fly away Lifting me up, setting me free I could be Billie Holiday In the silence hard to think about When in reality you gotta sit back Just relax, and let it happen naturally Oh, fly away Oh, so naturally Oh, toss the stress away 'Cause I know, yeah I know, It'll make you feel alright, ooh, yeah It made me smile, made me sing, made my worries fly away Lifting me up, setting me free I could be Billie Holiday In the silence hard to think about When in reality you gotta sit back Just relax, and let it happen naturally Gotta sit back Just relax, and let it happen naturally Gotta sit back Just relax, and let it happen naturally Gotta sit back Just relax, and let it happen naturally Gotta sit back Just relax, and let it happen naturally Sit back Just relax, and let it happen naturally Sit back Just relax, and let it happen naturally Sit back Just relax, and let it happen naturally Sit back Relax, and let it happen naturally
