about

Some people suffer from so much self-doubt that they don't actually realise how much strength, beauty and purpose others see in them.

= = = = = = =

lyrics

What you say, what you do
They're not the same
You say you're weak, but I see strength
In my lover's flame
And I see a queen who rules the land
That is my heart and guides my hand
I wish you could feel what I see in you
And maybe understand

So give me one reason
I shouldn't worship you until I die
You'll be telling a false treason and a lie

In the quake you are the tower
Still standing tall
In the debris you are the flower
Blooms above it all
And in my life you are the place
Where I get lost without a trace
Holding you close, missing for days
In a lover's haze

So give me one reason
I shouldn't worship you until I die
You'll be telling a false treason and a lie

Can't you see your beauty
Can't you feel your grace
There's a light shines out of you
When you say you're worthless
And tears are on your face
I'll remind you why you mean so much
To me and so many more

'Cause what you say ain't what you do
You say you're weak but strength shines through
And in the quake I see a tower
In the debris, a blooming flower
And I see a queen who rules the land
Yet doesn't know nor understand
Why I will follow her through time
Hold the mirror to her mind
So she finally may learn
Why people hold her in such worth
And lose the self-doubt curse
See a better her, not worse
Yeah lose the self-doubt curse
See a better her, not worse
Better her, not worse
Better her, not worse
