Jonny Daiz - More Beautiful You lyrics
"Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn’t straight her body isn’t fake
And she’s always felt overweight
Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are
There could never be a more beautiful you
Don’t buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
Little girl twenty-one the things that you’ve already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you’ve got a man but he’s got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead
Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there’s a man whose love is true
And he’ll treat you like the jewel you are
There could never be a more beautiful you
Don’t buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
So turn around you’re not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It’s not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who’s strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you’ll see through the eyes of a little girl
There could never be a more beautiful you
Don’t buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
Well there could never be a more beautiful you."
And i cried my eyes out because i had been thinking about love, death and how this is just not really worth it all... Normally when I'm in a mood like this i have my sister, but due to the fact that she's over a 1000 miles away in another state... I was playing with the idea of taking my last nap... And My Daddy, then man who left me shortly after birth then doted on me, for the next 10 summers of my life, by turning me into a mini slave, popped into my head and i had my handful of herbal sleeping pills... Then this song started... and i totally remember doing sitting on my bed at 13/14 wishing i looked like them, crying when my grandma would yell at me and call me fat and ugly... Hating my mother who was a drug-addict, but loosing her weight... (never did the drugs ^.^) but now... Listening to that song.. It's like... "Holy hell... That's so true... How did i NOT see it? I'm the best me i can be. And i shouldn't change myself because i should look like them, or because someone wants me to look different... I should look like who i want to look like..." i hope that someone else can be helped by this song too...
