I have him etched inside my heart, rough markings engraved in rock I latched it in a plastic box and wrapped it tight in iron locks With great passion I kissed it goodbye and proceeded to thrust it out at sea In hopes someday he'd come across it and maybe remember me His face was chiseled kindly, every crack and crevice crafted to care Every dimple drawn diligently, it made sure he was always there And I folded him up beneath my thumb, pressing down his memory So should he find it someday, he could stop and remember me I recorded every moment, trapped his honey voice inside my head I captured every second and caged it safely so he'd dwell in my homestead And I gathered it all in solid locks and chains and cast away the key But someday if he happens upon it, may he remember to remember me So when the winter has long passed by and your legacy has died And somebody asks me who you are I will look up in happiness again and answer gladly to him "Just someone I etched inside my heart" But before you leave my world behind, just hear my one last plea: In this new life, if you ever find time, don't forget to remember me
If you look in the mirror and it doesn't quite deliver what you'd like to And you think you'd rather be something pretty Take another glance and give yourself a chance Don't be afraid in your darkest day To let your light shine through Let the world know the beautiful you Don't hold back from anyone or give up your moment in the sun Cast away your insecurities and soon you'll see Something pretty Lift up your face Your gift of grace Don't be afraid in such a lonely place To let your light shine through Let the world know Don't forget to show Beauty is in you
