From the ink of a pen flows a story
A story about failure or glory
You never scrutinize its true meaning
You're always stuck with the lie
You're always stuck believing

You always scratch the surface
You never delve into the core
You never see that there's so much more
Than pixies or fairies, or happily ever afters

You grew up to believe
Tat love will just come knocking at your door
But it turns out,
You might end up weeping on the floor

But truly,
You have to pick yourself up
And walk out that door
Go look for someone
Who'll love you move than before

You grew up to believe
That looks really matter
That she has to be a beautiful girl with flowing locks
And he has to be knight in shining armor

You grew up to believe
That beauty is only ever skin deep,
That it's only what's outside that matters,
That you have to have perfect features,
But no

It's all a lie
None of it is true
All that really matters is that you should
BE YOU

We easily forget
That flaws can be perfections,
Limits can be strengths,
And that a knight in shining armor
Is a man who's never had his metal truly tested

We easily forget
That a stroke of victory
Starts with a hint of regret,
That a loser can make a winner,
And that a professional starts from being a beginner

We easily forget
that we are princesses and princes
Not because of marrying royalty

But because our father is
The King of Kings,
Lord of Lords,
The Almighty God,
The Creator,
Our Savior

Lost child!
Why don't you see the truth in these lies?
Why don't you see the truth
through God's eyes?

It's true that life ain't perfect
Like it is in the movies
But that's how it's supposed to be

It's true that you have to climb mountains,
Climb hills,
Jump across cliffs
And drive on rocky roads,

But the Lord is also true
He is the way,
The truth,
And the life

You lost soul,
Let the Lord take the wheel
Let him be your ruler
It's only through him
That the truth will be clearer

It's only through him
That you will open your eyes
It's only through him
That you will see the truth in these lies

— The End —
