Chosen Ones by Thelma Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Today, you looked your inner child in the eye
And you told her that she shouldn't cry
But then I cried myself
For all the pain that she internalized
To make sense of those who couldn't see
All of the beauty of a child
A child's body should never be criticized

[Chorus]
'Cause they may hate themselves
They may blame themselves
For all their lives
They may harm themselves
Tryin' anything to feel alive

[Post-Chorus]
And even when you learn it's not your fault
Shaking off a lapse in love is a life-long fight

[Verse 2]
And everyday, you're trying hard just to be brave
For the child screaming bloody murder inside
And all her rage, I'll give thought to rant
'Cause every child needs someone who really cares
What's in their heart and mind
What's in their heart and mind
What's in their heart and mind
What's in their heart and mind
And a child's body should never be scrutinized
[Chorus]
'Cause they may hate themselves
They may blame themselves
For all their lives
They may harm themselves
Tryin' anything to feel alive

[Post-Chorus]
And even when you learn it's not your fault
Shaking off a lapse in love is a life-long fight

[Bridge]
Don't negate yourself
Don't you blame yourself
For all of time
'Cause when you're not in the club of chosen ones
In a world that loves them best
You're worth the fight
