I was recently introduced into Anne Wilson’s music and I believe that some of her songs really hit home. My most recent favorite is “Hey Girl” which you will understand why when you read the lyrics below.
“Hey Girl”
Hey girl there in my reflection
Man this world’s been messing
It’s been messing with your mind
Hey girl, someone stole your smile now
It’s been a little while now
Happiness is hard to find
Letting everybody and their mother try to tell you what you’re worth
What you’re worth
When did you forget that the one who made you told you what you’re worth
Repeat after me
I’m a blood bought, battle fought, all my shame long gone
Made new child of the king
I’m an amen, testify, holy water baptized
Went down and came up clean
I’m a soul been saved
By that amazing grace
And now there ain’t no way girl
Can’t take that away girl
Don’t forget you’re free
It’s who you’re made to be
Hey girl
Hey girl, don’t you know you’re beautiful
Crazy kind of wonderful
And there’s no one like you
Hey girl, you don’t need to measure up
You are the treasure of
The God who loves you
No more letting everybody
And their mother try to tell you what you’re worth
What you’re worth
And if you should forget,
Let the one who made you tell you what you’re worth
And repeat after me
I’m a blood bought, battle fought, all my shame long gone
Made new child of the king
I’m an amen, testify, holy water baptized
Went down and came up clean
I’m a soul been saved
By that amazing grace
And now there ain’t no way girl
Can’t take that away girl
Don’t forget you’re free
It’s who you’re made to be
Hey girl
Hey girl, I’m glad we had this talk now
Think we said it all now
But here’s a little last advice
Live free, walk in victory
And repeat after me
I’m a blood bought, battle fought, all my shame long gone
Made new child of the king
I’m an amen, testify, holy water baptized
Went down and came up clean
I’m a soul been saved
By that amazing grace
And now there ain’t no way girl
Can’t take that away girl
Don’t forget you’re free
It’s who you’re made to be
Hey girl
Hey girl
Hey girl
