Sacred and Rare

Verse 1

Cameras flashing, they're zooming right in

Counting the lines and the weight on my skin

"Is she too thin?" "Did she change up her face?"

Everyone's talking, all over the place

They treat my body like it's public domain

Writing their headlines to profit from pain

But while they're busy dissecting my life

I'm over here cutting through all of the strife

Pre-Chorus

'Cause they don't know the heavy things I had to carry

They're just obsessed with the ghost that I bury

But the joke is on them, 'cause I'm doing just fine

Yeah, I reclaimed my body, my soul, and my time

Chorus

Why you so worried 'bout what I put on my plate?

Why you so busy projecting your hate?

Look at my body, it's mine to protect

Maybe it's time that you show some respect

And honestly, honey, I'm too blessed to care

'Cause I found a love that is sacred and rare

Yeah, I struck gold for the second time around

A truly good man and my feet on the ground

Verse 2

They missed the whole point of the songs that I sing

Too busy judging my shape and my ring

But I left the toxicity back in the past

Found a real healing that's chosen to last

He loves every inch of the soul in my chest

He doesn't care if I'm dressed to impress

After the storms and the tears that I cried

Lightning has struck twice, I'm glowing inside

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, they don't know the heavy things I had to carry

They're just obsessed with the ghost that I bury

But the joke is on them, 'cause I'm doing just fine

Yeah, I reclaimed my body, my soul, and my time

Chorus

Why you so worried 'bout what I put on my plate?

Why you so busy projecting your hate?

Look at my body, it's mine to protect

Maybe it's time that you show some respect

And honestly, honey, I'm too blessed to care

'Cause I found a love that is sacred and rare

Yeah, I struck gold for the second time around

A truly good man and my feet on the ground

Bridge

(Tempo slows down, ethereal cloud-pop strings)

Thought that the first time was all I would get

A beautiful chapter, a beautiful set

But love didn't stop when the curtain came down

He picked up my crown right off of the ground

So talk about my body, talk about my hair

While he holds me close and we breathe in the air

Outro

Yeah, second time's a charm, baby.

They're so busy talking...

But we're just walking away.

Living my life.

In love.

Yeah.
