Bright

Little girl watching her reflection As she parts her curls into four sections She says I don't look like them I don't look like her and I don't want what's on my head But baby girl don't be mislead Yeah yeah Young woman reading magazines Thinking to herself nobody looks like me Oh I've got all these curves all this nerve Why can't I keep a man But baby girl if you love yourself you can Can nobody love somebody that do not love themselves You are what you choose to be It's not up to no one else So be great be kind Don't let them dim your light A woman like a sun should always stay bright Little boy sitting in the bleachers Staring at at his dirty sneakers Thinking my shoes don't shine Money is tight I would never get a date But baby boy that's not what it takes Young man always at the center Finding ways to make his arms look bigger Saying You see those guys They get all the girls I just want to be like them But baby boy you're spreading yourself thin Can nobody love somebody that do not love themselves You are what you choose to be It's not up to no one else So be great be kind Don't let them dim your light Cause a man like a sun should always stay bright Yes you are like the sun so always stay bright
