You're Beautiful
jacksoul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The first verse of Jacksoul's "You're Beautiful" speaks of a lost and lonely girl who walks through the world virtually unnoticed. Her home life is full of sadness, and therefore, the street is her newfound sanctuary. The world around her only sees her for what's on the surface and doesn't care to know how she's truly feeling. But this girl, this youth, was born to be a mighty queen and bring love back to a fallen kingdom. The chorus then reiterates how the singer does not care what others think or see because he knows that the girl was meant to be with him. All they think they know is only fantasy, but she is beautiful to him.
In the second verse, Jacksoul sings not to pay attention to the wicked things people say because they will dismiss and move on while the love that's found within cannot be denied. The chorus repeats once more before leading into the bridge. The bridge acknowledges how everyone is busy running and trying to hide their demons. The singer encourages the girl to accept where she came from and figure out where she's running to because he'll be right there with her. The final verse reminds her to pay no special mind to anyone and just think about how far she's come. The darkest night was meant to usher in the sun, and the singer sees her smiling in the sunshine.
Overall, "You're Beautiful" is a beautiful song that speaks to the power of love in seeing the beauty in someone beyond what the world might say. It encourages listeners to embrace who they are and to allow love to usher in change in their lives.

I can envision a brighter tomorrow for you where you will be happy
