Lyrics

Chorus
Please dry your eyes young girl, don't cry you're beautiful
It's not your fault young girl, don't cry you're beautiful
You're not the one to blame
Soon it will be okay, one day you'll realize your beauty

It was a saturday this cold afternoon
Inside this house there lived a frightened young girl
She didn't know what she should do, cuz she missed her mother so
She was left home all alone with her step-father

Chorus

He touched her places that he shouldn't have touched
He did some things to her that he shouldn't have done
Then she ran into her room, paged her mother 9-1-1
And the tragedy began for this young girl
She told her mother, her fam'ly, and friends
No one believed her cuz before this happened
She was filled with hate and anger, towards her step-father
Cuz he took her mother from her when they married

Chorus

Bridge
She looked for her father in the men that she saw in
Thought that all she had to offer was her body
No one could figure out why this young girl would live her life
In such pain and unhappiness cuz she was so beautiful
She rebelled and one day the young fell in love with another man like her
Step-dad
He abused her emotionally and made her feel like she was worthless
I hope one day she realizes, and sees the beauty in her eyes
All she needs is prayer and strength cuz she's beautiful

Chorus 2x

Don't hold your head down low
You've got so much, so much, so much, so much, so much to be proud of
You can still live your life
I promise you, you'll survive
Girl I love you, you're beautiful
