~Who You Are~
You come around
You notice that my eyes
are locked on the ground
You ask me what's wrong
I don't want to answer
because I'm afraid
of what you'll think of me
You seem to understand
what I want to say
So you takemy hand
and whisper:
"Don't let anyone tell you,
you aren't beautiful.
Don't let anyonetell you,
you're not good enough.
When you're feeling low
look up at the stars
and always remember,
I love you for who you are."
I look up at you
You smile and promise
that you'll be there
to help me through
One night I go outside
and I plan to escape my pain
I look up at the nighttime sky
Your voice softly ran
through my mind:
"Don't let anyone tell you,
you aren't beautiful.
Don't let anyone tell you,
you're not good enough.
When you're feeling low
look up at the stars
and always remember,
I love you for who you are."
When I see
your smiling face
I know that:
I'm beautiful,
I'm always good enough,
and thatI loveyou
for who you are
with all of my heart.
