Beneath Your Beautiful

“Beneath Your Beautiful”
(feat. Emeli Sandé by Labrinth)

You tell all the boys “No”
Makes you feel good, yeah.
I know you’re out of my league
But that won’t scare me away, oh, no

You’ve carried on so long,
You couldn’t stop if you tried it.
You’ve built your wall so high
That no one could climb it,
But I’m gonna try.

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?

You let all the girls go
Makes you feel good, don’t it?
Behind your Broadway show
I heard a boy say, “Please, don’t hurt me”

You’ve carried on so long
You couldn’t stop if you tried it.
You’ve built your wall so high
That no one could climb it.
But I’m gonna try

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, boy, take it off now, boy
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight, oh, tonight?

See beneath, see beneath,
I…
Tonight
I…

I’m gonna climb on top your ivory tower
I’ll hold your hand and then we’ll jump right out
We’ll be falling, falling but that’s OK
‘Cause I’ll be right here
I just wanna know

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl (take it off now, boy,take it off now, boy)
‘Cause I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight, oh, oh, oh, tonight?
See beneath your beautiful, oh, tonight.
We ain’t perfect, we ain’t perfect, no.
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?

For your consideration……….

Recently I went on a road trip with my sister-in-law, Cathy. Starting before we left, continuing through the trip and since I have returned home, the above song kept coming into my head. If you visit this blog often, you know that I often get a poem or song for our message. More often than not I am not familiar with it but I usually get the artist or some lyrics so I can search for it and get the message. Not so this time. I just kept hearing the tune but could not place until today. I hummed it for my daughter and then my husband. They usually know it right off. Not so this time.

But today I remembered where I heard it. Since I am a firm believer in Divine Timing, I am absolutely convinced that it was important that the song and message be delivered today. I may never know why. But I know it to be so.

So often lately, we have been told that nothing but the truth is acceptable….in everything. This song is so perfect. No one is perfect. No one expects that we are. Yet we strive to be. We put on a “beautiful face”.

The truth is each and every one of us was given a beautiful soul that is exactly what the world needs for us to be and it to see. Our strife for the perfection that we assume the world wants to see builds a wall that separates us. And it prevents us in delivering the gifts we were given to deliver.

Our God, Angels and Guides are asking that we live our true self. The truth and nothing but the truth is what will change the world. We are asked to free our true self….our beautiful soul…… and let it lead our way.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take……

-Meditate/pray….be up close and personal….in constant contact with your authentic self.

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths…..

-Better yet get outdoors and commune with Mother Earth.

What made me smile yesterday……

-A peaceful day in my home.

-A good book.

-A baby gift made.

-My Alex is on her way home and feeling better.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
