DO YOU
DO YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AS YOU WALK BY THE MIRROR
DO YOU SEE SOMEONE BEAUTIFUL LOOKING BACK
OR DO YOU FEEL THE MEANS OF NOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH OR WORTH ENOUGH
SO MANY OF GODS WONDERFUL CHILDREN ARE BEING INGULFED WITH WHAT SOCIETY HAS BROUGHT UPON AS BEAUTY
SOCIETY GOES ON WITH THE NEW AND IN
IF YOU ARE THE ONE SO WRAPPED UP WITH IT YOU WILL NEVER SEE WHO YOU REALLY ARE
YOU WILL NEVER BE WHO YOU REALLY ARE
YOU WILL NEVER BE THAT UNQUE INDIVIDUAL
YOU WILL BE SO WRAPPED UP IN TRYING TO BE THE NEXT BEST THING
YOU WILL LOOSE YOURSELF
IN THE MIST OF IT ALL
YOU MUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
FOR IN TODAYS SOCIETY
THEY HAVE SUGAR COATED WHATS REAL
NOW YOU SEE ALL THESE GIRLS LOOKING LIKE BARBIE DOLLS ON THE BLOCK
FAKE AND PLASTIC
YOU CAN'T TURN ON THE TV NOW DAYS
WITH OUT HEARING SOMETHING ABOUT BEING MORE BEAUTIFUL
MORE BEAUTIFUL, WHAT CAN BE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN YOUR TRUE BEAUTY
BUT ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE GETTING WRAPPED UP IN
MAKE-UP, PLASTIC SUGERY, AND ALL THAT
HAS NO ONE HEARD OF TRUE BEAUTY
THATS WHAT PEOPLE LOOK FOR
THATS WHAT COUNTS, BUT A LOT OF TIMES YOU CANT SEE IT UNDER THE MASK THAT PEOPLE HID THERE TRUE SELFS THERE TRUE BEAUTY
YOUR BODY IS A TEMPLE
DONT ABUSE IT
LET PEOPLE SEE THE REAL YOU
JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
