The Heart of a Girl

I wish for things like silver rings
And the latest fashion magazines
I hope tomorrow brings the sun
Because darkened skin is far more fun

I gloss the lips and pluck the brow
I'm fashion forward yet fashioned now
I curl the lash and cover all marks
Yet inside of me ignites a spark

There's more behind this powdered skin
The Spirit of God is housed within
And every time my heart does beat
Its rhythm plays a song so sweet

It's the reason why I dance, I sing
It's the melody of a christening
It's praise, it's worship, it's a heavenly harp
And it's all within one little girls heart
