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
