Story Behind The Song
I teach voice & piano in addition to performing and writing music, and I work with a lot of pre-teens and teens who are going through that horrible time where they are unsure about just about everything they do. This song was inspired largely by them and by what I want each of them to know...

Lyrics
GLORIOUS - Suzanne Vick © 2009
Well you wake up in the morning and your head is swirling with doubt
You wonder how you'll make it how you're ever gonna do without
You're lookin' at your dreams lying dead on the floor
You don't even know who you are anymore
You're screamin' and you're cryin' before you ever even walk out the door
(But you are so much more...)
CHORUS:
You are glorious
Just the way you are
You are luminous
Like the night stars
You are shimmering and scandalous in your brightness, baby
You are glorious
You're sittin' on the subway and you don't dare look around
'Cuz seeing all them pretty people always seems to get you down
You wonder what it's like to live and look like them
They're sparklin' and they're shiny and they're smilin' and thin
But baby can't you see that their perfection is just a facade
(They ain't got what you got...)
CHORUS
Listen to me, you live authentically
Listen to me, you live spiritually
And that's more beautiful than any airbrushed darlin' in the whole wide world
(You're really something, girl...)
CHORUS
