Beautiful You – A song I wrote

Here is a song I wrote about one of the saddest things in the world to me…someone not living up to their potential due to circumstances or lack of belief…Enjoy. (:

Verse 1

In the beginning, you had a dream
A plan to unfold; a work to do
You built and sculpted a life to follow
Passions were many; fears were few
Life was for you to make your own
Believed in yourself; in what you could do
It made you happy, this dream of yours
Gave you strength and desire

Chorus

Just because it hasn’t happened
In the time frame you had in mind
Doesn’t mean you’re less of a person
Or that you have to leave ‘em behind
Get up again, renew your faith
In those dreams and in yourself
You are more than circumstances
Overcome and keep on striving

Verse 2

Time and distance made you cold
Life was only a job to do
Your dream became the work of a child
No longer valid or meaningful for you
You searched for answers, a path to see
Surely there was more to life
Nothing made you feel quite so alive
As that dream you left behind

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3

Your dream was not a farce or some cruel joke
It is still out there, believing in you
Your chance isn’t over; it’s time to rediscover
Your dream and the beauty of you
You have a current; what’s it telling you
Pay attention and go with its flow
Life has a need that only you can fill
Get on out there and give of yourself

Repeat Chorus
