Ayana - Melanin Lyrics

Don't look down
You answer to the clouds
And where's your crown
Was lost but now you're found

Just like a star you glow
Beautifully colored tones
On not like the other individual
There's a power that you hold
Deep inside your soul
Let everybody know

You were born with grace
In your skin
Just look upon your face
And where you've been
There's a special light that shines inside of you
There's no hiding it no matter what you do
Just look up and embrace
Look up and embrace
What's in you
You you you
Just look up and embrace what's in you

My hair was not made to relax
I let it reach for what I was destined for
Instead of the things that I lack (Mmm)
There's so much more for me to adore
I endure the aftermath
Sometimes my days feel kind of grey
But through it all I'm proud of who I am today
Who I am today
My imperfections were no mistake

I was born with grace
In my skin
I count my blessed days
And where I've been
There's a special gift that flows inside of me
A purpose for who I was meant to be
So I look up and embrace
I look up and embrace
What's in me
(Me, me, me, me, me oh
Me, me, me, me, me oh
Me)

(Oh)
You are beautiful, remarkable
Completely irreplaceable
A queen so undeniable
Worth more than gold
In a world of superficials
You are far from the disposable (Far from the disposable)
I want you to know
I want you to know
You are beautiful, remarkable
Completely irreplaceable
A queen so undeniable
Worth more than gold
In a world of superficials
You are far from the disposable
The power that you hold
Let everybody know

It is in your skin
Just look upon your face oh
And where you've been
There's a special light that shines inside of you
There's no hiding it no matter what you do
Just look up and embrace
Look up and embrace what's in you
