Unpretty
I looked in the mirror, didn't like what I saw,
Every line, every flaw, seemed to scream out loud to me,
Felt the weight of the world pressing down on my soul,
The wrinkles and scars that time couldn't control.
I searched for a reason, for a purpose in pain,
But all I could find was the echo of shame.
I didn't answer to my name, I was scared ....
I covered my face, to hid my tears, escape my fears, Lord help me...

"You're more than a face that in the crowd,
You're made in my image and that makes Me proud,
So lift your head, let your heart be free,
You're not unpretty, you're beautiful to Me."
I've been weighed down by the lies, heavy as stone,
In a world so obsessed with the skin and bone,
They tell me that beauty is what I can show,
The deeper that I dig, the less that really I know.
I've chased every standard, tried to fit in their mold,
The more that I tried, the more I felt cold.
The more I realized I didn't know society lies,
Wonderin' if this... if this is life was really about.
So much pain and so much doubt I can't find

"You're more than a face that sits in the crowd,
You're made in my image and that makes Me proud,
So lift your head, let your heart be free,
You're not unpretty, you're beautiful to Me."
