LYRICS

When I look in the mirror, those voices inside my head
Where did they come from? And why do I believe the things they said?
They always tell me that I’m not good enough
So I’m not listening anymore, unless the voice is love

Cause I am the best that I can ever be
When I say “I love every single part of me”
How long have I been trying to be like someone else?
When the only thing I have to change is the way I see myself 

When a magazine’s open, perfection is all we see
But who decided that’s what beauty really means
We’re always striving to be something that’s not even real
So I’m not looking there anymore, that’s not how I want to feel

Cause I am the best that I can ever be
When I say “I love every single part of me”
How long have I been trying to be like someone else?
When the only thing I have to change is the way I see myself 

Look in your sub conscious
And the answer is inside us
With a little more awareness
I believe that we can change this

When you look at your sisters, brothers, parents, children too
Sometimes projecting the judgements we put ourselves through
We gotta remember kindness is magical spell
Our love can reach the rest of the world if we truly love ourselves

You do the best thing you could ever do
When you say “I love every single part of you”
How long have I been judging everybody else
When the only thing I have to do is learn to love ourselves

We'll Stay Together
Words and Music © 2018 Grant Maloy Smith

It's a high road
But a long one that we're on 
And there's good folks a plenty 
who cried and turned around
But we ride on
Through the twists and turns we go 
When the sun gives way to darkness 
We got one more show

We'll stay together
forever and ever
We'll stay together all the way
And we'll love one another
'Cause we're sister and we're brother 
We'll stay together
forever and a day

We got guitars
And keys of every type
We got strings and brass and woodwinds 
To play on through the night
Yeah, we're different
Like a million shining stars 
We give the world our music 
from all our beating hearts

We'll stay together
forever and ever
We'll stay together all the way
And we'll love one another
'Cause we're sister and we're brother 
We'll stay together
forever and a day

We'll Stay Together
