Beautiful


We live in a day when children struggle to be comfortable being the person they were born to be.  Sometimes we need a reminder that we are beautiful just the way we are.  We are all unique, and perfect in our own individuality.  We are beautiful.



                Beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful, is what you are.
Brighter than any star
In the galaxy.
God created you to be
Different from the rest.
Inherently blessed,
You have a special place in his heart.
You are set apart.
The color of your skin, the texture of your hair
Are beyond compare.
Like the colors of the rainbow,
You have a majestic glow.
Shine like the star that you are.
Chocolate, vanilla, ebony girl
Do your Tyra twirl.
You are beautiful.
God’s Nubian Queen,
Full-figured and lean,
Shine like the star
That you are
You are beautiful.
Beautiful is what you are.
The color of your skin
Is a special blend.
You are stunning and rare
With beauty beyond compare
Walk in the beauty you possess.
No one can make you less.
Hold fast to the essence of you.
Your beauty will always shine thru.
Beautiful, that’s what you are
Brighter than any star
In the galaxy,
That’s who you were created to be.
You have a special place in God’s heart.
You are set apart.
In his eyes you will always be beautiful.
You are beautiful
Beautiful,
Beautiful,
Shine like the star
That you are.
Chocolate, vanilla, ebony girl
Do your Tyra twirl.
You are beautiful, beautiful.
Beautiful is what you are.
