beauty or blemish - willie shaw lyrics

[intro]
if my body’s a temple and the temple is god’s
then why do i feel like a fraud when i’m down on my knees and i’m praying out, lord?
lord, lord, help me, lord, please, please save me
lord, help me, lord, please, please save me
if my body’s a temple and the temple is god’s
then why do i feel like a fraud when i’m down on my knees and i’m praying out, lord?
lord, lord, help me, lord, please, please save me
lord, help me, lord, plеase, please savе me

[verse 1]
early in the morning, the first thing i see is me
staring in the mirror, wonderin’ who i’m tryna be
beauty or blemish, i’m just guessin’ what they see
’cause when they looking on the inside, they can never see thee
and if the mouth speaks out about what’s fillin’ up my heart
guess it’s time for me to be more serious ’bout my art
’cause bringing us together must be honest from the start
and i can write a pop song, but what’s the point if it’s just dark?

[chorus]
so, i’m starting with the man in the mirror
’cause if i don’t then i’m gonna end up in a bad place
no sp*ce, no hope, no chance to make change
and help out all the people that i love
i’m starting with the man in the mirror
’cause if i don’t then i’m gonna end up in a bad place
no sp*ce, no hope, no chance to make change
and help out all the people that i love, ooh
[verse 2]
i’m a little bit salty ’cause i lost my saltiness
like water on the ground, i tripped, i fell and made a mess
i’m toxic on the inside, i can feel it in my chest
and if i’m gonna make a difference, need to see that i’ve been blessed
the variables on the earth are ripping out my conscience
and i’m stressing out, just tryna find the constant
i’ll never know hosea or even understand the concept
of how somebody like you could still love a correspondent
but i be sitting, i be praying, i be waitin’ for the light to come and hit me
so that you can make my change
it’s not a them problem, it’s a me
and who am i to lead the blind if i’m the one that can’t see?

[verse 3]
lord, forgive me ’cause again i lost my way
thought i could do it by myself, like sheep i went astray
didn’t think that sin was lurking, you could call it downplay
but when i stopped to look around the devil had a field day
the closer that i grew to you the pain became unbearable
the enemy came near i couldn’t help but be hysterical
as tears ran out my eyes, i let ’em go unchecked
i finally understood why john told us jesus wept
and if step one is saying that you think that you’re a liar
step two is not so simple ’cause it’s time to walk through fire
don’t quit on number three although you’re lonely and you’re tired
’cause when you get to number four, god turns broken into sharp as iron
but your progression isn’t over, it’s just time to let you go
and make disciples out of nations that have never known the lord
be the water from the well that will no longer make you thirst
and the light to all the people that have never known the church
[outro]
so, i’m starting with the man
so, i’m starting with the man in the mirror
ooh
