Verse 1:
They point and laugh, they look away,
The world’s not kind, it’s cold each day.
You’re walking in the shadows, feeling small,
As if your flaws define it all.
But deep inside, you’re not alone,
The ones who judge have hearts of stone.
They’ve got their battles, just like you,
Hidden behind masks, they’re broken too.
Chorus:
Salamatu Shonny will say,
We’re all imperfect, that’s the truth,
Everyone’s got something they try to smooth.
If your scars show, don’t you hide,
They’re the marks of strength, wear them with pride.
So let them laugh, let them sneer,
Your worth’s not tied to their fear.
You’ve got a story, let it shine,
In your own time, you’ll be just fine.
Verse 2:
You’ve tried to blend, tried to fit,
But all it’s done is make you quit.
The world’s cruel, and it’s hard to breathe,
When all they do is make you grieve.
But remember, darling, you’re not the first,
To feel the sting, to bear the curse.
The ones who judge, they don’t see,
The beauty in your vulnerability.
Chorus:
Salamatu Shonny will say,
We’re all imperfect, that’s the truth,
Everyone’s got something they try to smooth.
If your scars show, don’t you hide,
They’re the marks of strength, wear them with pride.
So let them laugh, let them sneer,
Your worth’s not tied to their fear.
You’ve got a story, let it shine,
In your own time, you’ll be just fine.
Verse 3:
Some days the world will seem too cold,
Your heart’s been bruised, your spirit sold.
But don’t let their hatred shape your mind,
You’ve got your own path, you’ll find your kind.
Learn to love the parts they mock,
You’re not a prisoner, you’re your own rock.
The road’s long, but don’t look back,
You’ve got the strength to stay on track.
Chorus:
Salamatu Shonny will say,
We’re all imperfect, that’s the truth,
Everyone’s got something they try to smooth.
If your scars show, don’t you hide,
They’re the marks of strength, wear them with pride.
So let them laugh, let them sneer,
Your worth’s not tied to their fear.
You’ve got a story, let it shine,
In your own time, you’ll be just fine.
Outro:
So rise above, don’t let them win,
Your true beauty lies within.
Take it from me, Salamatu Shonny
Everyone’s broken in their own way,
But that’s what makes us stronger every day.
