I Am Beautiful

I see a face it smiles but tears are welling up inside
Behind the curtains there is so much more to me that hide
I move along though things go wrong no giving up

So I put my make up on and suddenly my fears subside
With heels so high I rise
Leaving all my doubts behind
I dance along
Singing my own song because I can

But people make me feel I'm never good enough
Flawed, I make mistakes, I might as well give up
Shadows blinding, taking me back to start
I choose to follow the beat of my heart

Shine a light on me I want the world to see
I'm alive and free with scars and insecurities
I can be whoever I want to be
From broken to brave
I am beautiful... uh-oh...
I am beautiful... uh-oh...

Beneath my strength and courage battles I had to endure
Had to overcome the pain and sorrow
Hope became obscure

I powered through
I found the light within
And kept believing

And there are times I feel like they don't understand
Quick to judge,they speak as if my life is in their hands
Criticize and think their comments paralyze
I know better than to listen to their lies

Shine a light on me I want the world to see
I believe in my unique abilities
I can be whoever I want to be
From broken to brave

It's the Queen that makes the crown
Take the throne and hold your ground
Unleash the power that's inside you
Be proud, step out
You're meant to be extraordinary
Born to reign

Shine a light on me I want the world to see
I'm alive and free scars and insecurities
I can be whoever I want to be
From broken to brave

Shine a light on me I want the world to see
I believe in my unique abilities
I can be whoever I want to be
From broken to brave
I am beautiful
Uh-oh... beautiful...
Uh-oh... beautiful...
Uh-oh... beautiful...
