Beautiful Like the Night
Location
When I was young I was teased and called burned
Going home with grief my skin had me earn
I was ugly, I was dark and gave people a fright
I was ugly, I was dark, I looked like the night
Their definition of beauty was different than mines
I was smart and I was kind and that was just fine
With me of course, not them, but they wouldn't understand
I didn't force it, so I just did what I can
They hated themselves and saw something in me I couldn't see
They saw my beauty, they saw me
They saw the cheekbones and the way my eyes glowed
You would never notice, how I would always looked at the floor
My confidence low and my head lower
Never noticing they were on their own emotional roller coaster
Their problems, not mines, I'm innocent you see
I'm just a pretty chocolate girl who's heart is a big as the sea
I looked at myself and realized I was a star
Never let them bring me into the dark place where they are
I finally realized I am a queen
Picked my head up and felt so free
It felt so good and I felt so right
I felt beautiful, just like the night
