There’s a picture on the mantle, dusty frame
Back when laughin’ came easy, back before the pain
You can see it in your eyes, that honest light
Girl, the world looks better when you’re alright
Life’ll test you, bend you, try to pull you far
But don’t forget the fire in your heart
You’re so beautiful when you’re happy
That’s the truest thing I know
Don’t trade your smile for silver
Or the fast lane for your soul
Hold onto what’s real and steady
When the road gets rough and dark
Just stay true to who you are
Every mile you walk was paved with hands
That taught you how to love, how to stand
Kitchen table talks, late-night prayers
They gave you more than you were aware
you just gotta stay true to who you are
never forget the family
never forget how they molded you
every single one of them made you
stay true to your roots
they haven’t failed you yet
everyone makes mistakes
and you dont have to just learn from yours
their lives a experiences can help you too
they are a gift to you so take in whats given to you
im not saying accept just anything but learn from it because everything happens for a reason
you know who will be there in the end
You’re so beautiful when you’re happy
When you let your heart stay soft
All those lessons in your bloodline
Aren’t ever truly lost
You don’t walk this road alone now
Even when it feels too far
Just stay true to who you are
There’ll be nights you doubt your name
Question every turn you’ve made
But the voices that raised you up
Still whisper love when times get tough
You’re so beautiful when you’re happy
When you live the truth you know
Your roots run deep like old oak trees
They won’t let you go
When the world tries to change you
And break you down with scars
Just stay true to who you are
Yeah, the road may bend, but it won’t erase
The love that built you, the home, the faith
In the end, you’ll know just where you stand
Right back in the arms of your family
