Waterdeep Everyone's Beautiful
I used to draw all the time back when I was in high school
Thick yellow pencils with soft lead that smeared real easy
Page after page, I was lonely
But senior year I met a girl and she made me feel better here
But a girl was a girl, was a girl
And she was beautiful, everyone's beautiful
I smeared the picture of her and then I walked away
I remember in junior high, half sick from fear on the hillside
Eddie wore braces and talked like he couldn't be beaten
Shawn had said Friday out back after school
And Eddie was stumbling lood mixed with drool
But a fight is a fight, is a fight
Still they were beautiful, everyone's beautiful
All of us crawling on hands and knees in need of You
I want to lift my memory of them in the desert
And set it on fire, watch it burn, watch it burn, oh, how it changes
And hope that the smoke of the sins of my youth
Will sail to the base of the throne of a King
'Cause a prayer is a prayer, is a prayer
And they were beautiful, everyone's beautiful
All of us crawling on hands and knees in need of You
They were beautiful, everyone's beautiful
All of us crawling on hands and knees in need of You
They were beautiful, all of us beautiful
Let them all find their redemption down, deep in Your eyes
