A pretty face

All the years it finally took to see this pretty face

After listening to the world tell me who I should be

Oh I let it feed

On my insecurities

See the world is mean

And if you let it it will make you think that everything

Has to look a certain way

But that's not how it is

You see I got a gift

That the world can't change or take away

I found that through it all that I'm one of a kind

And what god has given me I'm gonna let it shine, hey

Just look a little deeper and you'll see

All the beauty waiting here inside of me

Don't let what's on the outside go and trick your eyes

And catch you by surprise

Yeah 'cause I

I'm every woman that has ever been

So if you're deep enough to see what's underneath my skin

I just might let you in, and then you just might win...

The prize.

Na na na na na na na (x3)

Now the hurt is gone

But when it was there its purpose was to make me strong

And I guess that's why heaven sent it down to me; oh so I could see

I have everything inside to be complete

So next time that you're tempted just to walk on by

It might be worth your time to stop and stay a while, hey

Just look a little deeper and you'll see

All the beauty waiting here inside of me

Don't let what's on the outside go and trick your eyes

And catch you by surprise

Yeah 'cause I

I'm every woman that has ever been

So if you're deep enough to see what's underneath my skin

I just might let you in, and then you just might win...

The prize.

Hey, just look a little deeper and you'll see

All the beauty waiting here inside of me, yeah

Don't let what's on the outside go and trick your eyes

And catch you by surprise

Yeah 'cause I

I'm every woman that has ever been

So if you're deep enough to see what's underneath my skin

I just might let you in, and then you just might win...

The prize.
