Everyone's Beautiful - Waterdeep

I used to draw all the time back when I was in high school

Thick yellow pencils with soft lead that smeared real easy

page after page.

I was lonely.

But senior year I met a girl and she made me feel better here

but a girl was a girl was a girl

CHORUS

And she was beautiful

Everyone’s beautiful

I smeared the picture and left it with her to appraise

I remember in junior high, half sick from fear on the hillside

Eddie wore braces and talked like he couldn’t be beaten

Shawn had said Friday out back after school and Eddie was stumbling,

blood mixed with drool

But a fight is a fight is a fight

CHORUS

Still they were beautiful

Everyone’s beautiful

All of us crawling on hands and knees in need of you

BRIDGE

I want to lift

my memory

of them in the desert and set it on fire

and watch it burn

watch it burn

Oh, how it changes

and hope that the smoke of the sins of my youth

will sail to the base of the throne of a King

cause a prayer is a prayer is a prayer

CHORUS

And they were beautiful

Everyone’s beautiful

Let them all find their redemption down deep in Your eyes
