Don't you know how beautiful you are?

Oh don't you know how beautiful you are,
Despite the heartaches you've carried thus far
So deep inside,  apart from those fears
Is that beautiful you: held back by the years

So be yourself just be that you
Who's been longing to come out...your whole life through
You'll find your peace, your happiness
Drop down those walls, those many masks...

You have felt unloved  and you have felt afraid
Your life was shattered you were betrayed
Yet in all of this: this hurt, this pain;
True peace of heart was yours to gain

So be yourself just be that you
Who's been longing to come out.. your whole life through
You'll find your peace, your happiness
If you drop those walls, those  many masks...

Too many things have left you afraid
You have been belittled; you have been betrayed
The people you've trusted became your fear
So you keep avoiding them.. year after year

So be yourself just be that you
Who's been longing to come out.. your whole life through
You'll find your peace, your happiness
If you drop those walls, those many masks...

It is not okay for people to mock:
Your struggles; your worries; your insecure talk...
But they're all so ignorant: not knowing your path;
If only they could feel it:  a portion of that...

So be yourself, just be that you
Who's been longing to come out.. your whole life through
You'll find your peace, your happiness
If you drop those walls, those many masks...

One day, you will  smile; and one day you will see
This past has not impeded your potentiality
You're beautiful, you're wonderful, you're a child of God
Nothing can change that: you've got what you've got..

So be yourself just be that you
Who's been longing to come out.. your whole life through
You'll find your peace, your happiness
If you drop those walls, those many masks...
