The Story Of Beauty lyrics

Destiny's Child (what, what)
Hey

Chorus:
Please dry your eyes young girl
Don't cry you're beautiful
It's not your fault young girl
Don't cry you're beautiful
You're not the one to blame
Soon it will be okay
One day you'll realize your beauty

It was a Saturday, this cold afternoon
Inside this house there lived a frightened young girl
She didn't know what she should do
Cause she missed her mother so
She was left home all alone
With her stepfather

Repeat Chorus

He touched her places
That he shouldn't have touched
He did some things to her
That he shouldn't have done
Then she ran into her room
Paged her mother, 911
Then the tragedy began for this young girl

She told her mother her family and friends
No one believed her
'Cause before this happened
She was filled with hate and anger
Towards her stepfather
'Cause he took her mother from her
When they married

Repeat Chorus

She looked for a father
And the way that she saw it
Thought that all she had
To offer was her body
No one could figure out why
This young girl would live her life
In such pain and unhappiness
'Cause she was so beautiful

She rebelled, then one day
The young girl fell in love
With another man, like her stepdad
He abused her emotionally
And made her feel like she was worthless

I hope one day she realizes
And sees the beauty in her eyes
All she needs is prayer and strength
Cause she's beautiful

Repeat Chorus 2x

Don't hold your head down low
You've got so much, so much,
So much, so much, so much to be proud of
You can still live your life
I promise you you'll survive
Girl I love you
You're beautiful
