Sandcastles and Salt

[Intro] I love her self, that's true But the world, I yearn for you. A bridge I'll build, stone by stone, To make this place my happy home. [Verse1] Mirrors reflect a joyful face, Love for her self, leaves not a trace Of doubt or fear, she stands so tall, But whispers echo through the hall. "The world awaits, a different song," Where she must fit, where she belong. [Pre-Chorus] So she begins to softly bend, A little twist, a helping hand to lend. Can she adjust without a break? This fragile balance, for goodness sake! The change is scary, and she knows Her true self beneath, always shows. [Chorus] She love her self, and that's the key, But try to change, for you and me. Bend into the world, a gentle sway, To love them more, day by day. Will it be enough, this compromise? To meet your needs, before my eyes. [Verse2] She shifts her style, her words, her art, Trying to play a brand new part. A chameleon, quick and bright, Reflecting back the world's own light. But in the quiet, she can hear, A tiny voice, filled with fear. [Chorus] She love her self, and that's the key, But try to change, for you and me. Bend into the world, a gentle sway, To love them more, day by day. Will it be enough, this compromise? To meet your needs, before my eyes. [Bridge] The bending breaks, a fragile thing, She rises now, on wounded wing. No more pretending, she declares, Her authentic self, she bravely bares. To love them more, doesn't mean lost all, Just change her methods for one and all. [Chorus] She love her self, and that's the key, No need to change, for you or me. Embrace the world, in a new way, She shows her love, come what may. It is always enough, this comprise, To meet her needs, before their eyes. [Outro] I love her self, now you see, The world can love her, and she'll be free. No need to bend, no need to hide, Love grows where truth and kindness reside.
