Lambert, Mary - Body Love, Pt. 2 Lyrics






I know I am because I said am
I know I am because I said am
I know I am because I said am
My body is home
My body is home
I know I am because I said am
I know I am because I said am
I know I am because I said am

Try this
Take your hands over your bumpy love body naked
And remember the first time you touched someone
With the sole purpose of learning all of them
Touch them because the light was pretty on them
And the dust in the sunlight danced the way your heart did
Touch yourself with a purpose
Your body is the most beautiful royal
Fathers and uncles are not claiming your knife anymore
Are not your razor, no
Put the sharpness back
Lay your hands flat and feel the surface of scarred skin
I once touched a tree with charred limbs
The stump was still breathing
But the tops were just ashy remains
I wonder what it's like to come back from that
Because sometimes I feel a forest fire erupting from my wrists
And the smoke signals sent out are the most beautiful things
I've ever seen
Love your body the way your mother loved your baby feet
And brother, arm wrapping shoulders, and remember
This is important
You are worth more than who you fuck
You are worth more than a waistline
You are worth more than beer bottles displayed like drunken artifacts
You are worth more than any naked body could proclaim
In the shadows, more than a man's whim
Or your father's mistake
You are no less valuable as a size 16, than a size 4
You are no less valuable as a 32a than a 36c
Your sexiness is defined by concentric circles within your wood
It is wisdom
You are a goddamn tree stump with leaves sprouting out
Reborn

    2019 here ! And she just melts my heart !

  7. D.... T....

    Gives me goosebumps every time. I love that she included trans guys in this as well. I think growing up with the female societal norms and the body shame that comes with that on top of dysphoria is something that a lot of people don't necessarily talk about and it makes me feel so very heard and seen to have this representation.

  8. a.... s....

    I come to this video when ever my anxiety and depression is getting hard, honestly this song saves me from myself when ever I listen to it. I love you Mary xxx

  9. S.... G....

    this women has helped me feel great in my body inside and out and trying to get through college with out having to be depressed

  12. P.... K....

    Why can’t I get this on iTunes?

  13. A.... ....

    I've been struggling for the last 3 months, spent almost 3 weeks intoxicating myself with whatever substance I could to numb the pain. When I couldn't intoxicate myself anymore, I cut my eating to maybe twice a day, and not usually that much. My partner has been worried when I keep saying I'm not hungry, I haven't even lost that much weight. I'm seeing a nutritionist tomorrow to see how much damage I've done, and what I can fix. Listening to this I'm almost in tears because I haven't liked what I've seen in the mirror for a long time, but damn I'm trying to love myself again, or at least tolerate how I look. My body is still my home

  14. D.... K....

    My 4 year old only listens to nursery rhymes, sesame street, pink and Mary Lambert because I'm raising warriors and they need warrior role models.

  15. G.... N....

    Why cant we listen to this on apple music ?

  16. A.... P....

    I’ve listened to this a dozen times, but few lines have ever made me as emotional as “love your body the way your mother loved your baby feet”.

  17. E.... H....

    I love this soo much, but why can I not get it on Spotify?

  18. M.... B....

    Wow, that was moving. I have a similar poem but from men's perspective. Would love if you could check it out! Y'all support is so needed as I have almost no views, but I have poured my heart in to my poem Plastic Mould (an imaginary Mould men's bodies are subjected to fit in). Have a look - https://youtu.be/X3uc3anDIlU

  19. D.... J....

    Thank you.

  20. G.... W....

    Everything I have heard from you has been powerful. I listen to your music when I am writing. When I am relaxing. When I am trying to sleep... and when I am incredibly sad and thinking I am alone. Your music has helped me not only begin new stories, but it has also helped me see that I AM in fact beautiful and that my life has only just begun. I love your music, and you probably won't ever read this because very few artists do, but I wanted to thank you. Thank you for being open about your love and who you are, for sharing what you truly think and mean, and even sharing the dark moments, because we are all human. You shed light on the fact that weakness does not mean we are weak; it means we are human.

    So thank you from this small town girl about to face college and my adulthood. Thank you.

  21. E.... G....

    I just heard this today while randomly listening to Macklemore on iHeartRadio...never heard it before, but man, I'm glad I found it!

  22. S.... G....

    I have been depressed, sexually abused and assaulted and ashamed, bulimic for so long and I need this song.

  23. K.... G....

    "still hoping that the mortician finds us fuckable and attractive"

  24. C.... G....

    So powerful. I'm glad that the video portrayed men as well because we as women we identified totally to these words but we have the tendency to forget that men suffer from those "scar" too and more than we think.


    Your words, Mary, touched me to my core and i cried. Thank you for reminding me that i need to love myself, body and soul, because that is the path to healing.

  25. A.... s....

    The verse "girls like us are hardly ever wanted ya know?" Struck me so fucking hard. It's easy to single yourself out and eat away at our self confidence not knowing that there are other girls out there doing the same thing. It hurts so bad to hear what my entire child was being summed up in in verse. Self confidence is so fucking hard to get back once it's been torn out of your by yourself and others.

  26. D.... K....

    I absolutely love this!

  27. A.... m....

    😲😲

  28. R.... 6....

    Thank you thank you thank you!!

  29. g.... ....

    shit i’m glad i clicked this.

  30. L.... R....

    There are actual people with real problems who are really dying. Get over yourself

    L.... R....

    Lola Roberts Why so mean?
    Lot of people can relate to what she's talking about.
    Their problems ARE important.Get over yourself.

  31. l.... b....

    I'm glad Mary Lambert exist. She's amazing.

  32. J.... ....

    We did good

  33. M.... T....

    What happened to her she’s incredible? 😭

  34. c.... ....

    This is amazing. Beautiful. She reaches out and puts what all of us have felt at one point in our lives, she puts all of our pain into words and makes it into a healing balm. I wish I had discovered this years ago, but I'm glad I have now.

  35. O.... M....

    One of the most touching poems I’ve ever heard true respect

  36. x.... ....

    I love this so much I cried first time listing to it I love it

  37. A.... K....

    Wow... you deserve more than just ,,thank you”
    You saved a lot of life’s
    Remember.... you are more than just body

  38. C.... P....

    Beautiful, bravo

  39. D.... K....

    Damn. I'm speechless

  40. T.... g....

    Sometimes I wish my mom would say I'm pretty, just like she did when I was a kid

  41. r.... ....

    this is truly beautiful. boys and girls can relate to these so much. especially teenagers.

  42. P.... O....

    Always beings tears to my eyes and goosebumps to my body.

  43. k.... e....

    holy shit I’m crying

  44. P.... S....

    I want to love myself
    But I don’t know how to do that

  45. T.... T....

    This woman has kept me from killing myself, multiple times. An for that, I'm grateful!

  46. h.... ....

    Shut up, I’m not crying, YOU’re crying!!! Seriously, Mary, you are a goddess. I’ve not been touched by a song so deeply since listening to Dessa. This is perfection, just like every damn body out there.

  47. m.... ....

    yesssss. thank you for this.

  48. S.... M....

    4 years later and I still love this song so much. Always helps get me out of the dark places of my mind ❤

  49. A.... S....

    No one said anything about anyone's body type, it's your natural, you keep it fit and fine its your duty.. But people do say against overweight and bad choices harmful to your own body. If you take that as discouragement, it's your fault

  50. E.... M....

    2018 and I still need this. The world still needs this.

  51. J.... D....

    Whenever I need to listen to some powerful shit that gives me chills and makes me think and love myself

  52. M.... A....

    I'll never forget the emotional connection I have to this song.

    Its been 5 years and I always find myself going back to this one song when my eating disorder comes and fucks with me.

    Mary Lambert knew what was up. I dont know where I would be without her influence.

  53. C.... D....

    Hi, I love this song and bought the CD, but I much prefer the other version with just the piano music. Where can I buy it? Thanks for your answer!

  54. H.... ....

    Honestly we need a song like this for guys

  55. G.... S....

    Dear best friend of mine,
    You matter
    You are beautiful
    So beautiful that I can not convey it through words
    You mean so much to me, more then you will ever know
    You are more than your size
    You are more than what people say you are
    You are worth more than you will ever know

  56. b.... v....

    You dont know how much girls you helped with this, thanks u.

  57. S.... M....

    Honestly. I love this girl....

  58. K.... M....

    Thank you so much for this.

  59. H.... K....

    Ugh why isnt this on spotify?

  60. x.... o....

    this was my best friend Bryce's favorite song, I wish shit would've worked out :(

  61. M.... F....

    You made me cry
    But it was a good cry
    I love you marry

  62. a.... i....

    "I only know how to exist when I am wanted" last year I fell into depression and got really skinny. I was so close to become anorexic. I decided I wanted to live, I decided to eat and now I'm so mad guys always talk to me and I dont want that. They don't know what I went through.

  63. S.... B....

    So agressive

  64. L.... H....

    She’s so underrated, I love her 😍

  65. H.... C....

    I never thought as a 16 year old girl that id hate myself but this made me love myself even more

  66. D.... ....

    omg the intro got me bursting into tears... because everything she said is true...

  67. Z.... ....

    A school in our winter guard circuit did this spoken word (different music) for their show and their show had quiet a few people in the audience crying.

  68. H.... ....

    I love coming back to this. Listening in my dark room, and crying at how beautiful and touching it is.

  69. C.... P....

    wow.. this made me cry.... so damn beautiful..

  70. D.... H....

    Beautiful just beautiful the truth is

  71. R.... ....

    So powerful

  72. A.... W....

    I LOVE THIS AND EVERY PERSON EVER NEEDS IT. "I only know how to exist when I am wanted! Girls like us are hardly ever wanted, you know?" MY FRIGGIN LIFE EVERYONE PLEASE PUT THIS EVERYWHERE!!!

  73. M.... M....

    I've been obsessed with Mary Lambert for years now, but I never understood the weight of her words until now. I listen to this and see my friends in those she describes and it hurts me with the truth ringing throughout part one. Thank you

  74. j.... m....

    why haven’t i seen this earlier

  75. a.... ....

    recovering from an ed..always come listen to this song bc it helps so much.

  76. R.... H....

    in our society, women are convinced that the burden of beauty is on females but Nature demands that the burden of beauty is actually on males. From the preying mantis, the bird of paradise or even the peacock, males are burden with sight. Its men that have to be beautiful. With women, its only an option.

  77. J.... V....

    i love this so freaking much

  78. S.... ....

    This still makes me cry. It’s so beautiful, inspiring and amazing, though so heart melting and so painful when u can compare to it so much! I love Mary so much!❤️

  79. M.... B....

    this song will forever be the song i go to when my ed thoughts start coming back. everyone is beautiful. healthy is not a size. sick is not a size. all bodies are good bodies. there is no wrong way to have a body. nourish your body and treat it with the love and respect it deserves. you are worthy. you are enough. you are loved. and you are fucking beautiful. fuck anyone that ever tries to tell you any different. fuck anyone that says you only love your body when you are thin. that’s some goddamn bullshit. guess what? when i was thin, i should have died. literally died because of me thinking that i had to be thin to be beautiful and to be healthy and seen as a worthy person. guess what? that’s some goddamn bullshit because i’m healthier then i’ve ever been now and i’m by no means skinny. i am a normal person. mary is stunning and the most amazing and inspiring person to me and so many others. spread body positivity and end body shaming. <3

  80. L.... I....

    3:16-3:21

  81. a.... p....

    I really needed to watch this today. I was always the girl that was Too skinny. Other girls made fun of my body or said they wish they would look like me. Both Comments felt wrong and made me sad. Now, 2 years later, I had depression and an eating disorder.. I stopped working out and doing Yoga. My Body is not skinny anymore. I hate it so much even if I truly believe in body positivity..

  82. F.... L....

    Damn I couldn’t love this song more is so right as a teenager struggling with size this spoke to me such much that it made me cry

  83. B.... L....

    Beautiful

  84. L.... L....

    I ran into this by accident, I had no idea I needed to hear this. I had no idea, but I knew I was broken. I am broken but now I want to learn to love my broken self. I want to love myself, maybe some day I will.

  85. K.... ....

    Who gets to decide what normal is ?


    Me because there is no normal

  86. K.... ....

    Who else feels like there doing good and accepting there self and then you go to the store and you can’t find anything in your size and everyone is staring at you and it makes you feel so mad because it’s not your fault, you feel pretty but everyone wants you to feel like your not good enough and your supposed to be skinny and perfect but I wasn’t made to be perfect

  87. A.... E....

    I used to listen to this, and revisiting it brought tears to my eyes. I forgot how life changing this is

  88. T.... B....

    I love her!!!

  89. L.... O....

    Truly inspiring. Thank you for this.

  90. H.... S....

    me . . . 😭 at one time.
    Now I'm trying to love me for who I am. 💋
    But it's hard when you feel scars on your body but can't see that.🙍🏻
    I keep telling myself I am beautiful and smart. ❤️

  91. L.... V....

    I may never accept my body, because of all my friends leave me behind one by one

  92. R.... ....

    I cry every time I hear this, Its so beautiful.

  93. C.... ....

    everyone in this video is beautiful
    .
    .
    .
    you are beautiful

  94. P.... ....

    Honestly, I can’t believe that I forgot about this song. Listening to the lyrics and seeing the transgender men in the video is so inspiring.

  95. M.... ....

    This is beautiful. <3 Thanks so much.

  96. T.... ....

    She's such a special person ❤

  97. X.... ....

    I don't like this version.

  98. m.... m....

    I know i am,becausa i said i am
