Lyrics
Self Esteem

Verses I
When she was a little girl, She quickly learned her favorite toy was indulging in imagination.
She saw her self in tranquil scenes, were the one your trust can be believed, for no more pain and no more hurt she cries.
But as she?s grown she?s grown aware, something was stolen when he touched her there, she cried thru many sleepless nights alone
Praying for a day when she could say my self-esteem is all I need there is nothing more you can take from me.
Chorus
And she?s free, free at last to know her self-esteem, will let her live her dreams.
And she?s free, oh she?s free, free at last to know her self esteem, will let her live her dreams.
Verses II
Well that girl is all grown up now, just one look you cannot see, she hides her pain so beautifully.
Her scares are more then skin deep, she never ever truly sleep, intoxicated by his liquored breath.
She can still feel his cold hands just like it was yesterday, so to make peace she finds her strength in forgiveness.
It?s easy to say, harder to do, to forgive she has a whole life to live.
