The Daily Boost #526

Are you beautifully out of place?

Things not going well? Facing a challenge?

Try this phrase on for size: “beautifully out of place.” (Especially beautiful when uttered by someone who loves us!)

(You might also enjoy Sierra’s unanimated solo version.)

BEAUTIFULLY OUT OF PLACE
Sierra Hull

You believe in me
But I can’t see what you see
How long is it gonna take me
to trust myself?

I’ve been stuck here so long
Gotta find a way to move on
I gotta get on outta here
I gotta let go of this fear

Oh I swore I wouldn’t let it go this far
Now another year, I’m stuck here in the dark

Maybe I’m beautifully out of place
like the moon hides out in the sun lit day
When morning comes I won’t be afraid
Maybe I’m beautifully out of place
And it won’t be long till I find my way
At least that’s what you say

You believe in me
But I can’t see what you see
How long is it gonna take me
To trust myself?

(My thanks to Sierra Hull.)
