Words can't bring me down...

Did you see ER last night? It was a great episode. Pratt is turning into quite the adult. Abby is back from rehab (just need Luka back). There was this adorable little black girl who had some kind of retinal impairment that blocked her focal vision. Anyway, Abby asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up and I think she said an Astronaut or a singer. Then Abby asked her to sing something and it was fabulous on so many levels (they also closed the episode with the girl singing more of the song). It's my new favorite song. I searched for the lyrics and found them and am off to find it at iTunes:

Here's a clip from NBC. It takes a moment or two to get to the girl having her exam and it's quite short:

Beautiful
Written by Linda Perry

Don't look at me

Everyday is so wonderful
Then suddenly
It's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring me down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends you're delirious
You're so consumed
In all your doom, ooh
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone
Left the puzzle undone
Ain't that the way it is

'Cause you are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
Ohh no
'Cause you are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring you down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today

No matter what we do
(No matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(No matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
(Yeah, oh yeah)
Full of beautiful mistakes

And everywhere we go
(And everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(The sun will always, always, shine)
And tomorrow we might awake
On the other side

'Cause we are beautiful
No matter what they say
Yes words won't bring us down
Ohh no
We are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring us down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today

Ooh, ohh
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down, ooh
Today

Happy New Year!
