Twenty Something (Outro) ft. Ko'rale & Oreva Lyrics

I am twenty something out here believing

Hoping someday I'm gonna make it

I want you to fall in love with every part of you

I want you to greet your reflection in the mirror

With grace and appreciation

I want you to accept your flaws without resistance

See that you are a masterpiece

Visit every nook and cranny of yourself

Fall in love with each part

Your brain your eyes your smile

Your walk your talk

Pour salt on your wounds

And give yourself space to heal

You are a reflection of a beautiful God

Who took his time with you

Everything he touches is perfect

You are light

And light always shines

The brightest in the darkness

In light of perfect love

Your frailties seem like unending darkness

You ache and bend and weep and try

To fit into what you think love expects from you

Your flaws come to blinding light

As you see even more clearly how much you fall short

Imperfection is heavy I know

But I am Learning to find comfort

In the parts of me that aren't snap worthy

To peel off the filters and effects

Look myself in the mirror

And embrace the beauty that stares back at me

Every day would not be perfect

But on imperfect days I will perfect my joy

I would hold my peace close and unleash mercy on my flaws

You are perfect now

I want you to look in the mirror and acknowledge all that you are

Beat your hands on your chest and chant your oriki

Your scars are proof of your fight

It is a gallant sign that screams

Healing has happened here

You survived a wound that threatened to overwhelm you

Scars are for victors and in this battle my dear you have already won

Who taught you to keep quiet

To swallow your words and die in silence

Who told you that you have nothing to say

Who lied that your voice doesn't count

Where did you learn to cower

To hide behind your silence

And shuffle your feet on grounds you were meant to dominate

Dear child where did you learn to excuse your fear for shyness

So to you who feel like giving up, hang in there

Put a torch to the darkest places in your heart

Shed light on the things you're too afraid to see

And burn the self doubt to the ground

You are worthy of love too

So I want you to love yourself

In the same way that he loves you

Wholly Completely Unashamed and without apology

In the eyes of a God who is the evidence of perfection

You are worth dying for

So I need you to never forget that
