Love This Body

She Makes War

Compositor: Laura Kidd

I’d like to learn to love this body like you do
Peeling away the skin to uncover this ingenue
Years gone, what a waste
I'm breaking barriers to take my place

I was not my best friend even though I could have been

We’re only here for a while and then we’re not
So let’s see what we can do with the things we’ve got
Living in circles, a powerful mode to break
But I think you’ll find your strength of mind a cause to celebrate

No need for shame, no time for uncertainty
Disobey, 'cause it’s not the weight of my shape that matters
It’s what I say, sick of beauty queens
I’ll smash my mirror but I’ll eat my greens

If I knew the things I do now I could have stayed clean

We’re only here for a while and then we’re not
So let’s see what we can do with the things we’ve got
Living in circles, a powerful mode to break
But I think you’ll find your strength of mind a cause to celebrate

We’re only here for a while and then we’re not
So let’s see what we can do with the things we’ve got
Living in circles - a powerful mode to break
But I think you’ll find your strength of mind a cause to celebrate
