Head shoulders knees and toes knees and toes Eyes and ears and mouth and nose Head shoulders knees and toes knees and toes Now that is just a happy tune sing that to Mrs. Society And see what she do This is Society's remix Which describes few Or lets just say what's all wrong to you Face stomach arms and legs arms and legs Height and hips and thighs and clothes Face stomach arms and legs arms and legs Lets face it We have all claimed it Shooting for perfection But missing the basket every time Not a dime Can say we are truly fine Don't think I mean on the outside For isn't it what's on the inside that counts Mrs. Society goes by ounce Working on the inside then out The thoughts, the walk, and the heart Start to fall a part We might as well be bench warmers Because we watch her do all the work on us Twisting our minds like a tornado Seeing where we go We might not see her But she has us all wrapped around her finger Our strides linger Our shoulders sag Holding us back We no longer carry ourselves with pride Instead we hide Hiding inside our shells of shame Not acting the same Once society hits us we can't be sane While the voices in our head blame Pointing out every itty bitty flaw Opening emotions that are raw Our feelings may be obvious But it seems we are blind to all of this We veil the truth from ourselves and others Because we can not be another Or at least what we really want to be And see Upon the mirror Upon our reflection That figure I figured A vision in our mind was triggered Viewing the image of perfection even bigger Maybe to be seen thinner Illuminating our eyes and mind Only to see a blurry picture behind A fake appearance is screened As we watch the lean Only eating green Not to be mean But wouldn't you call it fake Let me slice you like cake And analyze for your sake First listen to this story I heard from Tori A little girl draws a picture of a blue barn, red trees and a yellow picket fence But listen to this You give it back And say what it lacks "Thanks for making me this picture, but it's not very good" But Psalm 139 verse 13 must be understood "for you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mothers womb" So every time we knock down how we look he assumes We're telling the God of the universe that the work of all his labor isn't good enough But you know what he would say if he was herein us "What do you mean you don't love yourself when I worked so hard on you..." And so this doesn't do I don't have a clue I mean what more can I do To get through to you That you should stay you And not brand new You are truly a beautiful view Actually you are beautifully and wonderfully made by Him Now That is enough just to say Amen So do you get that you are divine And do not have to be refined Ha, but it would be nice If I could take my own advice Your hearing this in the best way It's all coming from a girl who put herself down in the worst way But please don't think I am lying For I am trying Day by day to accept Still knowing I probably will never be the best But keeping in mind to let God do the rest And not think less Otherwise you'll be a mess So make sure you invest
