You Are Beautiful
Rachel Ruth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say what I say weigh what I weigh, be what I advertise
Cause you'd be happier if you were skinnier, and you had a face like mine
Oh don't listen to their lies
You're beautiful
Beautiful
No matter what they say
You were beautiful
The moment you were made
The prison of appearance has you locked up deep inside
You desperately look for the key in someone elses eyes
But they can't give you meaning if they didn't give you life
Oh just rise above their eyes
You're beautiful
Beautiful
No matter what they say
You were beautiful
So beautiful
The moment you were made
Fearfully made
Don't you know you're beautiful
Wonderfully made
Don't you know you're wonderful
Beautifully made
Don't you know you're beautiful
And you'll always be that way.
You're beautiful
Beautiful
No matter what they say
You were beautiful
So beautiful
The moment you were made
You're beautiful
Beautiful
No matter what they say
You were beautiful
So beautiful
The moment you were made
The song "You Are Beautiful" by Rachel Ruth talks about the struggle of accepting oneself in a world that is constantly advertising false beauty standards. One of the major themes of the song is the idea that human beings have become prisoners of appearance. They are so deeply consumed by the idea of looking a certain way that they have lost sight of what's truly important in life. The opening lines, "A picture says a thousand words, but half of them are lies. Say what I say weigh what I weigh, be what I advertise," emphasize the fact that people are being sold a false reality. They are forced to conform to a skewed version of what it means to be beautiful.
The song also talks about the misplaced search for self-worth. In a world that is so focused on external appearances, people often look to others for validation. They want to be told that they are beautiful and that they are enough. However, the song tells us that this validation can only come from within. "But they can't give you meaning if they didn't give you life. Oh just rise above their eyes." The key to self-acceptance is to rise above what other people think and look within oneself for validation.
The chorus of the song is a powerful reminder that no matter what anyone says, we are all beautiful in our own way. The repetition of the lines "You're beautiful, beautiful, no matter what they say. You were beautiful, so beautiful, the moment you were made" serve as a mantra for the listener. It urges them to believe in their own beauty and to find peace in the knowledge that their worth is not determined by external factors.

Wow. We could not have children. If we could by his grace we would have gifted them with our Christian love grace mercy and salvation that flows from our beautiful Saviour Jesus Christ. The greatest thing in our lives would be to see our children, simply loving Jesus and knowing His Salvation through faith in him alone โ๏ธ๐xxx John 3:16 in the New Testament of The Bible. X
