SKIN

More than skin (oh whoa ah) More than skin (oh whoa ah) They say smaller is better Keep it together Don't take too much space They say you are too much yet You're still not enough so stay in your place They say if you mess up, you'll lose their love Don't make a mistake They say make sure you look perfect Don't show if you're hurting Pretend you're ok If beauty is skin deep Then that's all that I need Why else would I be alive? You are more than skin, you are more than bone You are more than a world grown harsh and cold You are heart and soul, you are love made whole You are more than the world will ever know You are more than hurt, you are seen and known You are more than what's under your clothes And no one can take what's under your skin What's under your skin Oh whoa ah More than skin Oh whoa ah They say don't be a burden Don't show when you're hurting Just keep it inside So you smile But when you're alone The scars on your arms show The truth that you hide They say your pain's inconvenient He didn't mean it Just push down the shame They say the hurt that you're feeling It doesn't have a meaning So you drink it away If I'm already broken and everyone knows it Then why should I be alive? 'Cause you are more than skin, you are more than bone You are more than a world grown harsh and cold You are heart and soul, you are love made whole You are more than the world will ever know You are more than hurt, you are seen and known You are more than what's under your clothes And no one can take what's under your skin What's under your skin Oh whoa ah More than skin Oh whoa ah I am a daughter I am a sister I am a mother I am, I am I am stronger I am a fighter I am a survivor I am, I am, I am I am more than skin, more than bone More than the world will ever know I am more than skin, I am more than bone I am more than a world grown harsh and cold I am heart and soul, I am love made whole I am more than the world will ever know I am more than hurt, I am seen and known I am more than what's under my clothes And no one can take what's under my skin What's under my skin I'm a child of God I am wonderfully made They'll never take what's under your skin They'll never break what's under your skin I am stronger I am a fighter I am a survivor I am, I am, I am
