lyrics

Beautiful Girl
Written by Lisa Bastoni and Felix McTeigue
(c)(p) 2019 Sweet Ondine Music (BMI)/Kobalt (ASCAP)

A girl in the woods with a knife and a loaf of bread
Comes upon a pack of wild hungry dogs
She’ll use the knife to cut the bread
Making sure they’re all fed
And maybe save a little for herself
Chorus:
It’s alright to be gentle
And it’s alright to be kind
It’s alright to be brave and scared
I want you to know that I love you
More than anything in the world
I want you to know you are a beautiful girl

And when you were a baby
And I held you in my arms
We’d look out at the stars together
To the moon and back, I said
I tell you now so you won’t forget
So you’ll remember when the going gets harder

Chorus

And someday when you’re older, and you feel a little lost
In the woods, with a knife and some bread
I hope you’ll build a fire, spread your blankets in the sun
I hope you’ll still see that there’s enough for you
And there’s enough for everyone

Cause it’s alright to be gentle
And it’s alright to be kind
And it’s alright to be angry
It’s alright to change your mind
And it’s alright to be fierce
And it’s alright to fight
And it’s alright to be happy
It’s alright to cry when you need to cry

Chorus
