Body Love Part 2
Mary Lambert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I am because I said am
I know I am because I said am
My body is home
My body is home
I know I am because I said am
I know I am because I said am
I know I am because I said am
So try this
Take your hands over your bumpy love body naked
And remember the first time you touched someone
With the sole purpose of learning all of them
Touched them because the light was pretty on them
And the dust in the sunlight danced the way your heart did
Touch yourself with a purpose
Your body is the most beautiful royal
Fathers and uncles are not claiming your knife anymore
Are not your razor, no
Put the sharpness back
Lay your hands flat and feel the surface of scarred skin
I once touched a tree with charred limbs
The stump was still breathing
But the tops were just ashy remains
I wonder what it's like to come back from that
Sometimes I feel a forest fire erupting from my wrists
And the smoke signals sent out are the most beautiful things
I've ever seen
Love your body the way your mother loved your baby feet
And brother, arm wrapping shoulders, and remember
This is important
You are worth more than who you fuck
You are worth more than a waistline
You are worth more than any naked body could proclaim
Or your father's mistake
You are no less valuable as a size 16, than a size 4
You are no less valuable as a 32a than a 36c
Your sexiness is defined by concentric circles within your wood
Wisdom
You are a goddamn tree stump with leaves sprouting out
Reborn

Dear sister
you are so much more than
your body
you are so much more than
your scars
you are so much more than
any mascara
any lipstick
any blush
any makeup
you are beautiful the way you are
you are so much more than
any sharpness
you are so much more than
society demands
you are so much more than
your hair
your skin
your hips
your lips
you are beautiful the way you are
you are soul
you are voice
you are feelings
you are real
you are ....whole
and you are beautiful just the way you are
This woman has saved my life.

Body acceptance is not about glorifying obesity. It's about fucking loving your body at whatever size you are at. - Mary Lambert
@coffeyeoin5
Yes but only if you're overweight. It's not ok if you're underweight. Also, it's terrible that you think it's alright to convince children into thinking that being obese is ok and something they shouldn't work to change, for health reasons if not for beauty.
@lovinggod1234
Who said? She could have a disease or be on steroids for a sickness YOU should not be so judgemental you don't know everyone's story or health js think before you speak
@CLMoonLight
jeb tweebance In first place. why should YOU or anybody tell someone what any person should do? If you are a doctor and that person is you patient then by all matters you can do it. Being healthy is not the same as being thin, or eating to much or to little, it's not about your size and only a doctor can tell you if you are healthy or not. You say "Should we not be telling people like her to maybe STOP eating so much; because it's unhealthy?" Oh believe me, you do tell us to stop "eating so much", and by you I mean society (which means society tells you too), you tell us every time we look at the media, when we are with our friends, with our family, at work... everywhere.
But, the reason it's hardly ever because it's unhealthy like you said. It's because its not "pretty", not "attractive". Not like you should look. It's not right, YOU are not right. .Society is not just gently telling us " We want you to be healthy, no matter what that looks physically, as long as you are healthy then it's fine", no, The message society is sending is "If you don't look certain way, the way we are portraying as the right way, you should not expect to be as loved, successful and happy as the people who are because the way you look is not enough to get those things you want, YOU are not enough, you are less than them, you are not worthy of happiness, love and success". And that's why so many girls starve themselves and throw up, because they think (how could they not) that that's the way to happiness and everything that comes with being the "right" size. The message I got from Mary is "You don't have to hurt yourself, either physically or emotionally, to be happy, to be loved or to be successful. It doesn't matter what size you are, you have value, you are important, you are worth it, nobody and nothing can take that way from you".
