Beautiful

Every look in the mirror is a chasm of dark
The longer you look, the less you see of you
Every horse-back hero that rides in
Leaves you right in this desert alone
So your self-worth becomes self-hurt
Bullies and blades getting under your skin
Well there’s graffiti’s on a da Vinci
But they can’t touch what lies within
You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful
You’re beautiful to me
You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful
And I’ll say it until you see
The skin you’re in’s all you need
You wear it so perfectly
Beautiful, you’re beautiful
And I’ll say it until you see
You’re beautiful
And one by one, obstacles will rise
Like waves, they won’t stop no matter the tide
They’ll entice you in, with a torrent of peace
Then drown you out when you turn the other cheek
Don’t get caught in their net, don’t take their risk
They’ll take the rest of you in return
You’re stronger then this, swim forward and fierce
When you tire I’ll be your hands and feet
The world will stop, and hold its breath
The hands of time will come to rest
And when your moment comes to rise
Oh, realise
