Free to be me...

I went to a district-wide talent show Saturday night. It was amazing! There were three divisions (elem, middle and high school) and I was pleasantly surprised by all the talent in our small town! One of the girls sang this song, and it moved me at that moment, and I haven't stopped thinking about it. (I was NOT expecting that lump in the throat feeling!) It's a pretty song, and BEAUTIFUL message! Lyrics posted below, my faves are in bold. Click HERE to listen, because it won't let me embed. Enjoy! :)

At twenty years of age I'm still looking for a dream
A war's already waged for my destiny
But You've already won the battle
And You've got great plans for me
Though I can’t always see

(Chorus)
Cause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me

When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out
My life would turn out right, and I'd make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt
(Chorus)

And you’re free to be you
Sometimes I believe that I can do anything
Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring
But You look at my heart and You tell me
That I've got all You seek
And it’s easy to believe
Even though
(Chorus)
