Lyrics

Happy in your skin
(Neil Wise)
 
You can shed it, you can paint it, but words can never shame it
They may stain it, but you feign it, don't you let ‘em claim it
They can throw their sticks, or point the bone
But they can’t touch you once you know
 
You're happy in your skin, in the skin you're in,
Everyday you win, when you’re happy in your skin
Happy in your skin, be it thick or thin, be happy in your skin
 
They can poke you to provoke you, cut you deep or smoke you
They can't try it or defile it; the rich can never buy it
Put down all you love, make it a joke
But they can’t touch you once you know
 
That you're happy in your soul, a treasure to behold,
Secure in your mould, no matter what you’re told
If you're happy in your soul, feel young as you grow old,
Happy in your soul
 
If we flipped it, would you change it?
Does someone have to pay? Is there a better deal around?
Smile not smear, relate not fear
Could lead us to a higher ground
 
 
It's not the way you dress it, don't mind if you caress it
My suggestion is you bless it, even if you mess it
They can throw their sticks or point the bone
Put down all you love, make it a joke
They can huff & puff till the cows come home
But they can’t touch you once you know
 
Your’re happy in your skin, in the skin you're in,
Everyday you win, when you’re happy in your skin
Happy in your skin, be it thick or thin, be happy in your skin
 
When you're happy in your soul, it’s a treasure to behold,
Secure in your mould, no matter what you’re told
Happy in your skin, be it thick or thin, be happy in your skin
 
Happy in your skin, happy in your skin
