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 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



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
