lyrics

Every little girl sees herself growing old
And never fitting in the mold
And her mother's words, they're cut just like a knife
Clinging to what's left of her life

All the children play, not a care in the world
They don't see themselves as others would
But they're not chained in a way
Free of all ties that bind her

And they're not bodywise
Don't be fooled by distortions in the mirror
You are whole in your perfection
Last night you sat and cried

Believing all their lies
In truth you're something to behold
All the children play, not a care in the world
They don't see themselves as others would

But they're not chained in a way
Free of all ties that bind her
And they're not bodywise
From the frying pan into the fire

She's broken all the ropes that bind her
She's looking for the one
That sees inside her heart
To be held, to be told that she's loved

Where beauty that she is
She'd blossom like a flower
She's on the runways and the magazines

For every man she meets
His eyes objectify her
Those silly games they don't define her
All the children play, not a care in the world

They don't see themselves as others would
But they're not chained in a way
Free of all ties that bind her
And they're not bodywise

Older now, let go of that frail photograph
You know you're something to behold
Beauty and grace are the legacy you leave behind
You know you're bodywise

You're wise
You know you're bodywise
You're wise
You're wise

You know you're bodywise
You're wise
You're wise
