Look past
The scars and bruises
And pain I try to hide
The tears and dreams
And hurt I hold inside

Look past
The sudden outbursts
And anger on a whim
And the mistakes and missteps
And places that I’ve been

Look past
The cold ice wall
The fortress where I hide
This building of solitude
I built this with my pride

Look past
All the mistakes
The rivers of tears that stream
And the anger that I have
And see the real me

The real me
Who laughs when I am happy
And cries when I am hurt
And giggles in the night
And who questions my own worth

The real me
That gets carried away
And loves to dance and sing
And follows my imagination
When no one is watching

The real me
Who loves to listen to stories
And giggles like a kid
Whenever I am happy
Happiness I never hid


The real me
Who is actually lonely
For a true friend
Who is loyal to a fault
And will go with you to the end

The real me
Who tries to hard
And goes against His plan
This is the real me
The one He holds in His hands


In His Hands
I am happy
I am safe and warm
I know He’ll forgive me
And that I’m cared for

In His Hands
Where I am safe
Where I can be set free
Where I am loved
Where I can be just me

So look past
And see
The real me
In His Hands
