I see a face it smiles but tears are welling up inside Behind the curtains there is so much more to me that hide I move along though things go wrong no giving up So I put my make up on And suddenly my fears subside With heels so high I rise Leaving all my doubts behind I dance along Singing my own song because I can But people make me feel I'm never good enough Flawed, I make mistakes, I might as well give up Shadows blinding, taking me back to the start I choose to follow the beat of my heart Shine a light on me, I want the world to see I'm alive and free with scars and insecurities I can be whoever I want to be From broken to brave I am beautiful I am beautiful Beneath my strength and courage Battles I had to endure Had to overcome the pain and sorrow Hope became obscure I powered through I found the light within and kept believing And there are times I feel like they don't understand Quick to judge, they speak as if my life is in their hands Criticize and think their comments paralyze I know better than to listen to their lies Shine a light on me, I want the world to see I believe in my unique abilities I can be whoever I want to be From broken to brave It's the Queen that makes the crown Take the throne and hold your ground Unleash the power that's inside you Be proud, step out You're meant to be extraordinary Born to reign Shine a light on me, I want the world to see I'm alive and free scars and insecurities I can be whoever I want to be From broken to brave Shine a light on me, I want the world to see I believe in my unique abilities I can be whoever I want to be From broken to brave I am beautiful I am beautiful (I am beautiful) I am woman (beautiful) I am beautiful (I am woman) I am beautiful (I am woman) I am beautiful (I am beautiful) I am woman (beautiful) I am beautiful
