Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?
Look around around
Look around around around
Look around
Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out and play
Look around around
Look around around around
Look around
We can work it out........
Dear Prudence
Alanis Morissette's 'Dear Prudence' stands as a defining anthem of the early 1990s alternative rock and pop landscape. Released on her debut album, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, the track captures the raw vulnerability and introspective energy that characterized her breakthrough work. The song explores themes of self-doubt and the fear of being perceived as weak, delivered through Morissette's distinctive vocal style and the album's signature blend of acoustic guitar and driving rhythms. As a cornerstone of her discography, 'Dear Prudence' resonated deeply with listeners seeking authenticity in a polished music industry, cementing her status as a pivotal figure in the genre's evolution during that era.
