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
