(a song about self-acceptance)

Lyrics

Something I’m learning day after day,
Something that steadies my feet on the way,
Is the truth that my life brought me right to the place I am now.
Though I don’t know how, there is not a doubt:

Nothing is wasted. Nothing is lost.
All that I went through, whatever the cost,
I can use on the road to the person I’m trying to be.
None of it came free but all of it is me.

All of who I am is beautiful and strong
As I come to know that all of me belongs,
My best and my worst, the ways that I’ve grown,
The struggles I’ve faced, the joy that I’ve known.
There is a blessing I’m trying to understand.
It’s been there since my life began. I will find it in all of who I am.

Some of my kindness comes from my pain.
Sorrow and tenderness join once again
In a spirit of gentle compassion that helps me accept
Every last regret and lets me move ahead.

Days on the journey. Years on the path.
Wisdom abounding whenever I ask
And I’ve come to believe that whatever I need, I will find.
Every single time, love will be my guide.

All of who I am is beautiful and strong
As I come to know that all of me belongs,
My best and my worst, the ways that I’ve grown,
The struggles I’ve faced, the joy that I’ve known.
There is a blessing I’m trying to understand.
It’s been there since my life began. I will find it in all of who I am.

All of who I am is beautiful and strong
As I come to know that all of me belongs,
My best and my worst, the ways that I’ve grown,
The struggles I’ve faced, the joy that I’ve known.
There is a blessing I’m trying to understand.
It’s been there since my life began. I will find it in all of who I am.
I will find it in all of who I am.
