BODYWISE Lyrics

Every little girl sees herself growing old

And never fitting in the mold

And her mother's words, they're cut just like a knife

Clinging to what's left of her life

All the children play, not a care in the world

They don't see themselves as others would

But they're not chained in a way

Free of all ties that bind her

And they're not body wives

Don't be fooled by distortions in the mirror

You are whole in your perfection

Last night you sat and cried

Believing all their lies

In truth you're something to behold

All the children play, not a care in the world

They don't see themselves as others would

But they're not chained in a way

Free of all ties that bind her

And they're not body wives

From the frying pan into the fire

She's broken all the ropes that bind her

She's looking for the one

That sees inside her heart

To be held, to be told that she's loved

guitar solo

Where beauty that she is

She'd blossom like a flower

She's on the runways and the magazines

For every man she meets

His eyes objectify her

Those silly games they don't define her

All the children play, not a care in the world

They don't see themselves as others would

But they're not chained in a way

Free of all ties that bind her

And they're not body wives

Older now, let go of that frail photograph

You know you're something to behold

Beauty and grace are the legacy you leave behind

You know you're body wives

You're wise

You know you're body wives

You're wise

You're wise

You know you're body wives

You're wise

You're wise
