More Beautiful You

Little girl fourteen, flipping through a magazine

says she wants to look that way

But her hair isn't straight, her body isn't fake

and she's always felt overweight

Well, little girl fourteen, I wish that you could see

that beauty is within your heart

And that you were made with such care,

your skin, your body, your hair

are perfect just the way they are

There could never be a more beautiful you

Don't buy the lies, disguises and hoops they make you jump through

You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do

So there could never be a more beautiful you

Little girl twenty one, the things that you've already done

Anything to get ahead

And you say you've got a man but he's got another plan

only wants what you will do instead

Well, little girl twenty one, you never thought that this would come

You starve yourself to play the part

But I promise you there's a man who's love is true

And He'll treat you like a jewel you are

There could never be a more beautiful you

Don't buy the lies, disguises and hoops they make you jump through

You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do

So there could never be a more beautiful you

So turn around, you're not too far

To back away, be who you are

To change your path, go another

It's not too late, you can be saved

If you feel depressed with past regrets

The shameful nights hope to forget, can disappear

They can all be washed away

By the One who's strong, can right your wrongs

Can rid your fears, dry all your tears

And change the way you look at this big world

He will take your dark distorted view

and with His light, He will show you the truth

And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl
