Built Your Body

As a child I bet your smile was gorgeous

Only begged your folks for stuff they could afford

I see your head buried in the books you saw your dad reading

I see your eyes glimmering as your life’s beginning to change

Change

You built your body to survive this world and I know that hurts

You built your body to survive this world and I know that hurts

I know it hurts

I know the ways you cope must be exhausting

Just to breathe on a bad day and carry the weight

I see your head buried in the lives of those that need a win

I see your eyes ache your ears strain to hear those that need something

You built your body to survive this world

And I know that hurts

Don’t let anybody shake your worth

We’ve all been burned

You built your body it’ll see you through

And I’m proud of you

And I see the way you shake

That face you make

There’s plenty of ways

you get through the day

But who am I to say

They’re created with grace

And I know the way you shake

That face you make

There’s plenty of ways

you get through the day

But who am I to say

They’re created with grace

You built your body to survive this world

And I know that hurts

Don’t let anybody shake your worth

We’ve all been burned

You built your body it’ll see you through

And I’m proud of you

I’m so proud of you

As a child I bet your smile was gorgeous
