Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't forget who you are
Don't forget who you are
You blessed with it
Baby, so marvelous
No one like you, just look around
Yeah, you're too strong to turn around
Don't forget who you are
Don't forget who you are
[Verse 2]
Beautiful baby, I love you, baby
Pray these words may hug you, baby
Look into the mirror say, "I love you", daily
Remember your light when the world seem shady
You born with it, adorned with it
A gift to the world, go and give it
Fearlessly made, no need to be afraid
Angels are with you, the path is laid
Wade in thoughts of you being a star
Truly you'll shine by seeing who you are
Reflections of you, reflections of me
Your beauty, more than any eyes can see
[Verse 3]
Don't forget who you are
Don't forget who you are
You blessed with it
Baby, so marvelous
No one like you, just look around
Yeah, you're too strong to turn around
Don't forget who you are
Don't forget who you are
[Verse 4]
A precious jewel you are
Don't forget who and whose you are
Made in His likeness, yeah, you different
Uniquely specific, young and gifted
You see that in another then you gotta uplift it
Your hair, your skin the way the sun kissed it
Mystical mama, beautiful boy
Your life is a story for you to enjoy
Whereever you stand, stand in you
Stand in love, stand in joy, stand and do
Everything that you ever dream you'd do
Your voice is yours it will sing to you
[Verse 5]
Don't forget who you are
Don't forget who you are
You blessed with it
Baby, so marvelous
No one like you, just look around
Yeah, you're too strong to turn around
Don't forget who you are
Don't forget who you are
