[Intro]
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
The way you, the way you are
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
The way you, the way you are
[Verse 1]
She just wants to be beautiful
She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits
She craves attention, she praises an image
She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor
Oh, she don't see the light that's shining
Deeper than the eyes can find it
Maybe we have made her blind
So she tries to cover up her pain and cut her woes away
'Cause CoverGirls don't cry after their face is made
[Chorus]
But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
Oh, oh, oh
The way you are, just the way you are
Oh-oh the way you are, just the way you are
Oh-oh the way you are, just the way you are
Oh-oh the way you are, just the way you are
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
The way you, the way you are
[Verse 2]
She has dreams to be an envy, so she's starving
You know, CoverGirls eat nothing
She says "beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything"
"What's a little bit of hunger?"
"I can go a little while longer," she fades away
She don't see her perfect, she don't understand she's worth it
Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface, oh, oh
So to all the girls that's hurting, let me be your mirror
Help you see a little bit clearer the light that shines within
[Chorus]
There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
Oh, oh, oh
The way you are, just the way you are
Oh-oh the way you are, just the way you are
Oh-oh the way you are, just the way you are
Oh-oh the way you are, just the way you are
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
The way you, the way you are
[Outro]
Oh-oh the way you are, just the way you are
Oh-oh the way you are, just the way you are
Oh-oh the way you are, just the way you are
Oh-oh the way you are, just the way you are
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
The way you, the way you are
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
The way you, the way you are
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
There's a hope, ah ah ah, there's a hope
