Mandisa - The Definition of Me

Everybody's got an opinion
Of what they want me to be
Everybody's got a condition
That I may never meet

So tired of looking in the mirror
It always says the same thing
I want to be about something different
Something more than the mirror can see

Like joy, peace
Alive in me
When it comes to my identity

I want the love
I want the light
I want the beauty
On the inside
I want the one that you can't see
To be the definition of me
More than the face
More than the girl
More than the voice
More than the world
I want the truth that I believe
To be the definition of me

Pretty is cool for a minute
But it always fades away
Trends are hot for a second
They'll be gone the very next day

So before you get lost in the moment
Let's get one thing clear
Only love will last forever
That's the reason that we're here

It's up to you
'Cause everybody's looking
Who do you want them to see?

CHORUS

They say I'm cute with the boots
And the trendy attire
You kinda reminiscent
of a younger Mariah
But do they see beyond what I got,
what I rock
They'd be shocked if they knew it was
my soul that was hot
Hot boys don't affect my own self respect (no)
And neither do the magazines and vanity tests
Yo Disa make a list
Who's fly and what's next
Start if off with love, joy, peace
And end it with blessed
Muah!

CHORUS

Is there any way to get an accompaniment track to this song? This would be a great song for our teen ministry conferences! We have teen singers that would love to do this one! PLEASE CONTACT ME!

@patricktmsb1 Not that I know of, sorry. I looked on Family Christian Store's website and Amazon.com but I couldn't find it on either site. Maybe you could try to look for sheet music if you know people who could play it? That's the best I can do :)

@PinkPunkPower Thanks for your suggestions, but I have the lyrics. I want the music - an accompaniment track - so I can sing it at youth conferences. It's not that big of a deal. I decided to write my own music instead and am now cutting my own cd. :) It was actually a good thing that I couldn't find accompaniment tracks to songs. It was a great motivation to start writing! Thanks again though. Many blessings, Brianna Caprice

@patricktmsb1 have you tried copying the lyrics from the description on to what ever writing thing you have and then printing it? or downloading the song and doing my last suggestion?
