Courage

It’s okay child, its okay You know tomorrow will be a brighter day And I see all day you’ve had to cry You can’t explain why, so you just told a lie I see today you don’t feel beautiful Open your eyes look in the mirror, don’t listen to their ridicule Don’t put anymore damage on your beautiful body No matter what they say, no matter what they do, “You are somebody” Let go all of that low self esteem I know it’s hard when the world treats you mean When the world treats you bad, turn your back Always press forward and never look back Don’t let your days be filled with the rain Release and let go, some of that pain I know deep down in your soul it hurts To have your family and friends kick you down in the dirt When all along we are the ones who are innocent We didn’t ask to be born it was our parents, wasn’t it? But then we have parents who abuse and mistreat us Leaving us with no one we can trust Sometimes we can’t even trust ourselves When someone loves or there’s happiness we punish ourselves Buy you know it can and it will get better We all have each other and together we matter Have you heard that saying “Let go and let God?” Well together with him we stand against all the odds Today we are somebody and we will always be somebody We can change and we can grow Having Courage and Faith is all we need to know
