stand up tall

Jason Mraz - Beauty in Ugly
she's so big hearted,
but not so remarkable
just an ordinary humble girl
expecting nothing as we're made to think
its a pretty person's world

but you are beautiful and you better go show it
go look again, you gotta be true to your own
if you really wanna go to the top
do you really wanna win?
don't believe in living normal, just to satisfy demand

well if you wanna get free
and if you wanna do the passionate thing
and if you wanna get smart for the sake of your heart
you should own your name and stand up tall
and get real and see the beauty in ugly

well you are fresh, you're face is fabulous
don't forget you're one of a kind
when nobody is checking the deeds you've done
and nobody is hearing your cries
you make all of the fashion statements
just by dressing up your mind

well if you wanna get free
and if you wanna do the passionate thing
and if you wanna get smart for the sake of your heart
you should own your name and stand up tall
and get real and see the beauty in ugly
and see the beauty in ugly

I never see myself as a beautiful girl. I am living in a pretty person's world. Somehow I always think being pretty isn't me. I am afraid to be pretty and being stared by men. Living in a "dangerous" country like Indonesia made me insecure of how I dress up. So it continues. No make ups, no perfumes, no lotions, no shaving legs, not so much of cute skirts, no high heels. Yeah. That's pretty much me.

Yes I am beautiful, no matter how I look like. What's really matter is what's inside. I, myself, has a great desire to be someone. I want to be a great woman. I want to be successful and happy. I want to have a happy family of my own.

I don't want to live normal, I want to live extra ordinary. I don't want to satisfy demand, I want to own my own name and stand up tall.

Thanks, Jason
