Beautiful Girl

I had a lot of things I wanted to write about in this blog-musicals, girl's night, a near death experience....all of which I will get to sooner or later. But tonight, I just needed to post this song by Sara Bareilles whom I recently saw in concert at Harding University. She's been one of my faves for a long time, and this song reiterates how wonderful she is. If I could personally sing this to all of the young girls I experience life with on a daily basis I would. I hope they all hear it sooner or later. If not from me or from Sara then from SOMEBODY. You're BEAUTIFUL. Made in the image of the Almighty Creator. Beautiful Girl (<--Click this link to listen to song)




Beautiful Girl

You wanna walk into the room like that other girl does
The one that’s always making everybody fall in love
You see…girl you’re a lot like me.
She rearranges all the light in the room so you’re always in the 
shadows-
Well that’s what it feels like to you…
Baby I’ve been there too.
And I know how much it can sometimes hurt,
You feel like the whole world has made you the ugly girl.
Take it from me that you have to see it first.

So before you trade in your summer skin for those high heeled shoes, 
To make him want to be with you.
Let me remind you one more time…
That just maybe, you’re beautiful but you just cant see.
So why don’t you trust me,
They’ll see it too you, beautiful girl, you.

You wanna lay the blame on somebody else, 
All these tiny little minds that leave you up on a shelf.
But okay, I’ve seen it done that way.
Just in case nobody ever comes through, 
Riding in to come to your rescue.
You still have a chance,
You don’t have to be asked- to dance.
I know how much you’ve been dying to say,
Look how much everybody loves me.
Guess who gets left when everyone else fades away?

So before you trade in your summer skin for those high heeled shoes, 
To make him want to be with you.
Let me remind you one more time…
That just maybe, you’re beautiful but you just can’t see.
So why don’t you trust me
They’ll see it too you beautiful girl you
