I bet you didn't know that I'm bursting with sunshine. I imagine that when you look at me you just see me. Maybe you see a little twinkle in my eyes or a shine to my rosey cheeks and don't think anything at all. Perhaps I'm just one of the girls; one more face in the crowd.
You can't see me with your eyes.
If you mean to see me, really see me, you have to come a little closer. Feel the weight of my hand on your shoulder, feel the warmth that my fingertips penetrate into your flesh. Feel the strength that I share with you through touch. Feel the comfort that the fire within me builds.
If you want to see me, really see me, you have to listen with your heart. Hear the words that flow from lips; I speak only truth when I tell you that you are beautiful. Hear the tone as my words cross my tongue and I tell you how strong you are; how you matter. Hear the secrets hidden in between my words and know that when I am building you up, giving you confidence and telling you that you can do anything you put your heart to, I am really saying "I love you".
If you need to see me, really see me, you have to listen to the songs I sing. Know that each song is a little gift of me that I am trying to let you see. You have to read my words and know that for me, there are no lies in my OWN words; This is where my truth lives. When I tell you that are perfect in your own imperfections and that my only wish is for you to see the you that I see, I mean it, From the very depths of my soul.
I bet you didn't know that I can light up a room. I bet you didn't know that I can warm a heart. I bet you didn't know that I'm bursting with sunshine. And I burn for you, for all of you.
