Video

I love the song "Video" by India.Arie. I think she is a brilliant song writer. Here are some lyrics that really make sense to me;

VIDEO
Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't.
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't.
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes,
really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul.

I'm not the average girl from your video,
and I ain't built like a super model,
but I learn to love myself unconditionally,
because I am a queen.

I'm not the average girl from your video,
my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes,
no matter what I'm wearing I will always be India.Arie. (Ha, my name, Jessica Leigh rhymes and fits right in, so when I am listening to this, I always sing my name instead, Ha.)

When I look in the mirror, yea, the only one there is me.
Every freckle on my face is where it is supposed to be.
I know my Creator didn't make no mistakes on me.
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes, I am loving what I see.

Great song huh? Makes me smile. Lots of songs do, this one was just on my mind and I wanted to share. Happy Sunday.
