Just as you are

Just as you are

You wake up with a heavy mind

Questions louder than your dreams

Looking in the mirror, trying to find

The courage hiding underneath

Every scar tells a story true

Every tear has shaped your heart

You don't see it, but I do

You've been strong right from the start

If the world feels cold tonight

Let me be your light

Don't you doubt yourself, not even for a moment

You are more than every word they say

You're a beautiful soul, and you don't even know it

You don't need to change, you're perfect this way

Let them look, let them stare,

You are worthy, you are rare

Just breathe in, hold your ground

You are enough - the way you sound

You carry weight you never chose

Trying hard just to belong

But your heart already knows

You were right here all along

They don't walk inside your skin

They don't feel what makes you you

So don't let their noise get in

Your truth is still shining through

When your faith begins to bend

I'll remind you once again

Don't you doubt yourself, not even for a moment

You are more than every word they say

You're a beautiful soul, and you don't even know it

You don't need to change, you're perfect this way

Let them look, let them stare

You are worthy, you are rare

Stand tall now, hear this sound

You are enough - right here, right now

If you could see yourself through my eyes

You'd never feel small again

There's magic in the way you try

There's power in who you've been

(Ooh, you're stronger than you know)

(Ooh, don't let them steal your glow)

Don't you doubt yourself, not even for a moment

You were always meant to shine this way

You're a beautiful soul, and I hope you know it

The world needs you just as you are today

Let them look, let them stare
