GODDESS
Written by Jourdyn Kelly
Inspired by The Goddess Reyna Chronicles and Nicci Price
[Verse 1]
They hung my name from the stars
Saw my face inside their dreams
They see a smile that never fades
But never what it means
They only see perfection
Not the flaws beneath the glow
They see the face I show the world
Not the soul they’ll never know
[Pre-Chorus]
They reach for heaven in my hands
Lifting me higher every day
They take what I can give and…
Walk away
[Chorus]
They call me Goddess…
And reach for what they need
But when I open my eyes
I always watch them leave
All I’ve ever wanted
Was someone who could see
The woman behind the Goddess…
I’m simply me
[Verse 2]
I searched for my worth
Inside of strangers’ eyes
Helping them find who they were
While losing sight of mine
But every empty goodbye
Left the only truth to see
I can’t truly love another
Until I first love me
[Pre-Chorus]
They reach for heaven in my hands
Lifting me higher every day
They take what I can give and…
Walk away
[Chorus]
They call me Goddess…
And reach for what they need
But when I open my eyes
I always watch them leave
All I’ve ever wanted
Was someone who could see
The woman behind the Goddess…
I’m simply me
[Bridge]
I built these walls so carefully
Believing they were home
Convinced a heart like mine
Was meant to beat alone
Then one quiet moment
Changed everything I knew
Love was never out of reach…
I just had to know my worth too
[Final Chorus]
They call me Goddess…
And reach for what they need
But when I open my eyes
I always watch them leave
All I’ve ever wanted
Was someone who could see
The woman behind the Goddess…
I’m simply me
[Outro]
The woman behind the Goddess…
Is simply me.
