Mi valor

I look in the mirror

I see only scars and weariness

I tell myself silently

“You are not enough

You have never amounted to much”

But I hear Your voice

Amidst the noise of my thoughts

Whispering ever so softly

“You are not your falls

Nor your attempts”

My worth does not depend

On what the world says about me

If I fall a thousand times

I know that even so, I can carry on

The fear of not rising again

Will no longer define me

I am going to believe

Believe in myself

God lives here

Inside of me

I close my eyes

I breathe deeply until the pain subsides

I count to ten

And release the weight I carry in my chest

There is fire in my hands

Even if they tremble when I reach for the future

And a heaven in my steps

Even if the path is sometimes dark (oh)

My worth does not depend

On what the world says about me

If I fall a thousand times

I know that even so, I can carry on

The fear of not rising again

Will no longer define me

I am going to believe

Believe in myself

God lives here

Inside of me

If I forget who I am

Remind me, You

That in every heartbeat

There is a spark of light

That all the pain

Has brought me to this place

To learn

To understand

That I, too, have a choice

My worth does not depend

On what the world says about me

If I fall a thousand times

I know that even so, I can carry on

The fear of not rising again

Will no longer define me

I am going to believe

Believe in myself

God lives here

Inside of me (oh)

God lives here

Inside of me
