Translation
Bilingual
She was young, impressionable
Always fun, she climbed up Dunn's River Falls
With no shoes
Yes you, you know this girl
She had hazel eyes, a curly crown unlike the rest
Always sure, but she wonders if God loves the insects on the ground
Yes, you're around this girl
Made one mistake that led to another
And she overcorrects because her father
Said please, don't leave, we need you
Pick up your head, Jenny
I know you're scared, Jenny
Pick up your head, Jenny
I know the voice inside you screams
Pick up your head, Jenny
I know it feels heavy
But, pick up your head, Jenny
And you will be alright
Yes, you will be alright
You will be alright
She spent years never knowing her own soul
Just living lonely, while surrounded by people like you
Just to prove, she's not of this world
Safe behind the armor of her scriptures
Buried deep beneath the sand of her convictions tell the truth
Yes you, you judge this girl
She made one mistake that led to another
And she overcorrects because her mother
Said please, you can't leave, we need you
Pick up your head, Jenny
I know you're scared, Jenny
Pick up your head, Jenny
I know the voice inside you screams
Pick up your head, Jenny
I know it feels heavy
But, pick up your head, Jenny
And you will be alright
You will be alright
You will be alright
Now that you're older
You don't have to be her anymore
You'll be alright
No need to be ashamed
Who cares if your parents are right?
You don't need their permission to fight
One mistake led to another
And she overcorrects because her husband
He said please, you can't leave, you haven't earned it
No, you haven't earned it
But I say hell yeah, you've earned it
Pick up your head, Jenny
I know you're scared, Jenny
Pick up your head, Jenny
I know the voice inside you screams
Pick up your head, Jenny
I know it feels heavy
But, pick up your head, Jenny
And you will be alright
Yes, you will be alright
You will be alright
You will be alright
Be alright
Be alright
You will be alright
You will be alright
Keep your head held high
You'll be alright
