More Beautiful You

I am obsessed with this new artist named Jonny Diaz. I just heard his song on KSBJ. Wow. It's great... I love it! I really connect with this song, and especially as a middle school teacher, it really makes me look at my students, especially my girls, in a completly new way. Here is a link of Jonny talking about his new song:


Is he not precious?! Yes, I think so too.

And here are the lyrics. I have not found a full clip of the song, unless you go to JonnyDiaz.com and click on listen to my music or playlist or something to that effect. He's a good listen, and I will leave you with the lyrics to his new song, More Beautiful You! Enjoy. :)


Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn’t straight her body isn’t fake
And she’s always felt overweight


Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are

(Chorus)

There could never be a more beautiful you
Don’t buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you

Little girl twenty-one the things that you’ve already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you’ve got a man but he’s got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead


Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there’s a man whose love is true
And he’ll treat you like the jewel you are

Repeat Chorus

So turn around you’re not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It’s not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who’s strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you’ll see through the eyes of a little girl
