about

A song about self image, inspired by the work of Louise Hay.

lyrics

Acceptance

It's a blonde, tanned world
And I’m a short, round girl
I try to embrace my curves and my ivory skin
They’re sellin' me the message
I don't have acceptance
“Better shape up 'cause you just don't fit in.

Chorus:
It's up to me to block it out
It's up to me to not doubt
My own allure that comes from within
It's not how you look, it's how you see
That defines true beauty
I need to find acceptance in myself

Can't let myself be deceived
By the way I self-perceive
Obsessed with the quest for perfection
Is beauty in a miracle cream
Or surgical extremes
Time to see differently and change direction

Chorus:
It's up to me to block it out
It's up to me to not doubt
My own allure that comes from within
It's not how you look, it's how you see
That defines true beauty
I need to find acceptance in myself
I need to find acceptance in myself

Bridge:
Today I found my fountain of youth
Is love, peace and gratitude
And sharing it all, sharing it all, sharing it all
Is so beautiful

Chorus:
It's up to me to bring it out
It's up to me to not doubt
My own allure that comes from within
It's not how you look, it's how you see
That defines true beauty
I need to find acceptance in myself


Won't go down that road anymore
Won't be the marketeer's whore
I choose to set myself free
There are better things to focus on
Than just how thin or how blonde
When there's a world of suffering, a world in need

Chorus:
It's up to me to make it right
It's up to me to share my light
My own allure that comes from within
It's not how you look, it's how you see
That defines true beauty
I need to find acceptance in myself
We all need to find acceptance in ourselves
