Anyone see ER last night? There was this beautiful black child with retina problems who sang I am Beautiful for Abby while she was getting an eye scan. They also closed the episode with her singing more of the song. It's my new theme song. I loved her and the way she sang the song. Little did I know that Cristina Aguilera and Bratz had already used the song. I've downloaded the Bratz version because I thought it sounded closer to the little girls.
Here are the lyrics and a clip from ER:
Beautiful (Written by Linda Perry)
Don't look at me
Everyday is so wonderful
Then suddenly
It's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring me down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends you're delirious
You're so consumed
In all your doom, ooh
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone
Left the puzzle undone
Ain't that the way it is
'Cause you are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
Ohh no
'Cause you are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring you down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today
No matter what we do
(No matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(No matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
(Yeah, oh yeah)
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
(And everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(The sun will always, always, shine)
And tomorrow we might awake
On the other side
'Cause we are beautiful
No matter what they say
Yes words won't bring us down
Ohh no
We are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring us down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today
Ooh, ohh
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down, ooh
Today
