Behind the pretty eyes


She loves her momma's lemonade
Hates the sounds that goodbyes make
She prays one day she'll find someone to need her
She swears that there's no difference between the lies and compliments
It's all the same if everybody leaves her

And every magazine tells her she's not good enough
The pictures that she sees makes her cry

She would change everything, everything, just ask her
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home

She's giving boys what they want
Tries to act so nonchalant
Afraid to see that she's lost her direction
She never stays the same for long
Assuming that she'll get it wrong
Perfect only in her imperfection

She's just the way she is
But no one's told her that's OK

Women in sikhism


Bhandd janmeeai bhandd ninmeeai bhandd mangan veeaahu ||
From woman, man is born; within woman man is conceived and to woman betrothed and married.

Bhanddahu hovai dostee bhanddahu chalai raahu ||
Woman becomes his friend and through woman are his generations propagated.

Bhandd muaa bhandd bhaaleeai bhandd hovai bandhaan ||
When his woman dies, he seeks another woman, to woman his passions are bound.

So kio mandaa aakheeai jith janmehi raajaan ||
Why call her evil from whom are born kings.

Bhanddahu hee bhandd oopajai bhanddai baajh na koe ||
From woman, is woman also born, so without woman, there could be no one at all.

Naanak bhanddai baaharaa eko sachaa soe ||
O Nanak, only the True Lord is without a woman.

Jit mukh sadaa saalaaheeai bhaagaa ratee chaar ||
That mouth which ever praises is prudent, blessed and beautiful.

Naanak tae mukh oojalae tit sachai darbaar ||2||
O Nanak, those faces shall be radiant in the righteous court. ||2|| SGGS||473
