Being You
Embrace Your Uniqueness: "Being You" by Britnee Kellogg and Slumberkins
Lyrics
My little one
Expressing affection to the child
Where do I start?
Beginning to contemplate expressing love
I love you with all of my heart
Declaring unconditional love for the child
The way that you laugh
Appreciating the child's laughter
The way that you play
Admiring the child's playfulness
Fills my heart up each and every day
Feeling joy from the child's actions every day
Let me tell you something I will always be true
Promising honesty and loyalty to the child
You are loved and enough just by being you
Affirming that the child is loved and sufficient as they are
Used to think when I was small
Reflecting on childhood perceptions
I had to be perfect with no mistakes at all
Believing in the need for perfection without mistakes
But then I learned that wasn't true
Rejecting the idea of perfection as untrue
You are loved and enough just by being you
Reiterating the child's worth without conditions
I used to feel that I had to be
Experiencing pressure to be constantly joyful
Filled up with joy and never unhappy
Realizing the falsehood of continuous happiness
But then I learned that wasn't true
Affirming the child's value beyond constant joy
You are loved and enough just by being you
Emphasizing the child's inherent worth
Let me tell you something I will always be true
Repeating the commitment to honesty and loyalty
You are loved and enough just by being you
Reassuring the child of their love and worth
Used to think when I was small
Recalling the pressure for perfection in childhood
I had to be perfect with no mistakes at all
Believing in the need for flawless perfection
But then I learned that wasn't true
Rejecting the falsehood of perfection
You are loved and enough just by being you
Reiterating the child's value without perfection
You don't have to ever be perfect
Emphasizing the freedom from the need for perfection
You can always just be you
Encouraging authenticity and self-acceptance
You are loved and you are enough
Affirming the child's love and sufficiency as they are
Just by being you
Stating the inherent worth of just being oneself
Let me tell you something I will always be true
Repeating the commitment to honesty and loyalty
You are loved and enough just by being you
Reassuring the child of their love and worth
Used to think when I was small
Recalling the pressure for perfection in childhood
I had to be perfect with no mistakes at all
Believing in the need for flawless perfection
But then I learned that wasn't true
Rejecting the falsehood of perfection
You are loved and enough just by being you
Reiterating the child's value without perfection
