Beautiful
Music & Lyrics by Rachel Farris©2001
Beautiful is what I want to be
When I get a glimpse of you, I’m far away
Who is the girl in the mirror
Who is it that I want to be
The time that I take, the mess that I make
What is it I’m hoping to see
When I look deep in my heart
I have got so far to go
What they don’t see when they look at me
It’s all that you already know
Beautiful is what I want to be
When I get a glimpse of you, I’m far away
Beautiful is what I am to you
When I realize it’s true, I am okay
Who was the girl in the story
She knew what mattered the most
She couldn’t hide the beauty inside
Forgiving and never a boast
Who is the girl in the picture
How can I look just the same
It says what to do, but It’s simply untrue
Somebody’s deceitful game
How can you see all that’s in me
Never returning in shame
Inspiring my choice
And hearing my voice
And faithfully knowing my name
