BABY, LOVE YOURSELF

You'll find time to lose yourself in love 
Put the happiness of others above your own 
Find joy in the things that make them happy 
Sometimes to the loss of your own—
Baby, love yourself. 

You've seen how wicked the world can be
How cold it gets out there 
How quickly people can turn on you
For reasons you can't even think—
Baby, love yourself. 

You're in love with how they love you, 
You're blind to how amazing 
How wonderful a creature you are
But you surrender only to what they say you are—
Baby, love yourself. 

You're happy and you can't help it, 
You're sad and you don't know why
You feel like the best thing in the world,
Then you mess up again big time—
Baby love yourself. 

Unconditionally and unashamedly, 
Shower no apologies unreservedly, 
Show the world how much you care, 
But really you don't even have to care
That Baby, you love yourself. 

When you feel rejected 
When no one has your back
When you feel unlovable 
Or consider yourself despicable—
Baby, love yourself.

When the nights get dark and you see nobody
When the days grow cold and you need somebody 
When the road gets tough and you feel so lonely 
When it's hard and the tears flow more freely—
Baby, love yourself.

Baby, love yourself 
Baby, love yourself 
Baby, love yourself 
Baby, love yourself 
Baby, love yourself...

HAVEN'T FOUND THE ANSWER YET

I searched the four corners of the wind I listened hard, I heard the birds sing I saw them take to flight and fly free I saw power in their wholesome wings  I went deep down the ocean depths  The primordial power of the earth I felt  Was ever so majestic the deeper I went Words fail to capture the essence  I climbed the mountains of the highest peaks Caught the sunrise on the tallest trees Saw so much beauty that I couldn't breathe Saw greatness that made my heart to freeze  In high spirits, but my energy spent  Still seeking answers, but I couldn't make a dent I searched the secrets of the seven seas I was put to bed by the gentle breeze  It doesn't matter if I spend my last cent   These answers are worth more per every cent  Yet on my strength I can't depend  To the grace of God, I must defer For in the fire, I found no answer In the earthquake, I heard no response  In the thunder, there was no reply  But in the g...
