More Beautiful You...Explication?

My absolute favorite song is More Beautiful You by Jonny Diaz. I had printed out the lyrics and after my Bio test today I pulled it out and next to each Stanza (?) I wrote what it said to me, so I'm not sure if you could call this an explication or not. The song is in normal colored text and my thoughts are in Green!



Little girl fourteen flippin through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn't straight her body isn't fake
And she's always felt overweight
Don't feel so insecure. You're REAL. Women in magazine and on television are touched up too look perfect.
Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are
God made you and you don't need to change a thing!
(Chorus)
There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
You are the only one of you. Don't lessen yourself to try to fit in.
Little girl twenty-one the things that you've already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you've got a man but he's got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead
Be careful with your body. It's YOURS. Don't do things to try and keep some guy around, he's not worth it.
Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this day would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true
And he'll treat you like the jewel you are
If you have to change yourself for a man he's DEFINITELY not worth it. Someones out there who will treat you right.
(Chorus)
So turn around you're not to far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It's not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who's strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl
It's never too late to change directions and choose to follow God. He will wash away your sins and forever be there for you.
(Chorus)
