Body in the Mirror

She has always been a part of you Long before you were even aware of her When you were little she was always free How she enjoyed to live and just to be Then you started to compare her Tried to change and to control her She was never good enough for you again Yet everything you ever felt was Through her skin and through her bones She is the guardian of your soul So tonight when you see her in the mirror Gazing back with her tired eyes Instead of looking at her flaws Won't you stop and take a look At what you never saw That she's beautiful With everything that makes her a woman Every little inch Every pound Every scar she may have gotten And then won't you tell her To lift her chin up and be proud of what she's done And then won't you let her Take the place in your life that she deserves She has taken you from place to place On her steady feet She carried you around And when you knew love for the very first time It was with her arms and with her beating heart Then you started to compare her Tried to change and to control her She was never good enough for you again Yet everything you ever felt was Through her skin and through her bones She is the guardian of your soul So tonight when you see her in the mirror Gazing back with her tired eyes Instead of looking at her flaws Won't you stop and take a look At what you never saw That she's beautiful With everything that makes her a woman Every little inch Every pound Every scar she may have gotten And then won't you tell her To lift her chin up and be proud of what she's done And then won't you let her Take the place in your life that she deserves And then won't you let her Take the place in your life that she deserves
