about
Inspired by the book The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams.
lyrics
Velveteen, velveteen,
Are you real,
Are you seen?
Or are you lost in between?
Velveteen.
You were a gift, bright and new,
And everybody thought they knew
Who you were, what you’d do,
We couldn’t see
The part you kept deep inside,
How you longed to be alive,
To be yourself, not just survive,
To be free.
Velveteen, velveteen,
Are you real, are you seen?
Or are you lost in between?
Velveteen.
But one day you showed the spark that burned inside you,
And let us see the you you couldn’t hide.
And though others might tease you and deride you,
I hope you know you fill my heart with pride.
Velveteen, velveteen,
You don’t know how much you mean.
You are real,
You are seen
Velveteen.
