LYRICS:
I look back in time to the person I once was
Policing each feeling and thought
If I could go back, I would tell my sweet self
That I am good, I am good as I am
I am good
As I am
I am good, I am good as I am
Such joy and relief in this glorious thought:
That there is nothing wrong with me
I don't have to hide any part of myself
I am good, I am good as I am
I am good (I am good)
As I am (as I am)
I am good, I am good as I am
My mind's not the enemy
My flesh is not a cage
My body is precious and wise
I'm a field full of flowers, I'm a sky full of stars
I am good, I am good as I am
I am good (I am good)
As I am (as I am)
I am good, I am good as I am
I am good, I am good as I am

This song brings so much peace and healing. Taking back that which caused harm to so many. ❤️ Amazing work.
So very uplifting and healing. Thank you!!
Yes a nice commentary on the goodness of a living being which is too often dismissed. As for my falling short, I'm thankful for God's grace in helping me to recover and be better.
So beautiful
