[Verse 1]
She just wants to be beautiful
She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits
She craves attention, she praises an image
She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor
Oh, she don't see the light that's shining
Deeper than the eyes can find it, maybe we have made her blind
So she tries to cover up her pain and cut her woes away
Cause covergirls don't cry after their face is made
[Chorus]
But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
[Verse 2]
She has dreams to be an envy, so she's starving
You know, covergirls eat nothing
She says "beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything"
"What's a little bit of hunger?"
"I can go a little while longer," she fades away
She don't see her perfect, she don't understand she's worth it
Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface, oh, oh
So to all the girls that's hurting, let me be your mirror
Help you see a little bit clearer the light that shines within
[Chorus]
There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
[Bridge]
No better you than the you that you are
No better you than the you that you are
No better life than the life we're living
No better life than the life we're living
No better time for your shine, you're a star
No better time for your shine, you're a star
Oh, you're beautiful, oh, you're beautiful
[Chorus]
And there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

I cried a lottle It's like a little, but a lot

[@angeliinaswan]

Wow...Ev. This went straight into my heart, seriously! I can really relate to this song, and to mention one thing, I was diagnosed with Anorexia when I was 14 (now I'm 22) and I literally fought for my life for a few years, it was a living hell, let me tell you. Although, I am better today, but I'm still struggling with my eating disorder...so, I really needed this! Thank you! And, tbh, this was the first time I ever heard this song, so THANK YOU for introducing it to me also! You know, when I first listened to it I actually thought it was an original of yours, you totally made it your own, and it felt like it was written for you! Simply perfect! You're such an inspiration to all women, and you've been my inspiration for a very long time too. You're so warmhearted, and kind, and your encouragements mean so much to me, even more than I can say. You're truly amazing, Ev! Always remember that! 😊 And I'm so looking forward to your upcoming two albums, it must be so exciting for you! And for us, of course!! 😃 I want to support you on Patreon, been thinking about it for a while. But if I become one of your Patreons now, please don't think it's just because I want my name on your albums, 'cause it's obviously not the reason, it's because you deserve it, and I want to support your music in any way that I can! I'm already supporting Peter, but I will do my best to support you too, even tho I can't pledge just as much right now, but I promise to update my pledge as soon as I can! You've earned it! Thank you so much, once again! -Peace & Love, Angeel

[@theannaallen3099]

Such a beautiful opportunity. thank you for offering this to our choirs.

[@kethriholmes1383]

I don't know if you'll read this, but I just wanted to thank you. When I'm slipping into the darkest parts of my mind, you and Peter's music and positivity helps a lot. so thanks.

[@QuadSquad]

Beautiful song, and what a good positive message it gives to today's youth. I got goosebumps watching. Thanks for sharing it with us!!

[@EvynneHollens]

Thanks so much.

[@dottiedotpie]

I am in tears right now. I needed this today. My stepdad used to tell me that if i didnt look or act a certain way, No man would ever love me. It was this last year that i met my amazing boyfriend and he has made me realize that i can just be me and people will accept me. Thank you Evynne. You are truly beautiful inside and out. Im going to patreon right after this for you and peter. If i EVER get the amazing opportunity to meet you i will hug you and thank you for everything.

[@EvynneHollens]

Wow Dorothy! Thanks so much for your comments and your support. So glad you have found someone who loves you for who you are; the truest kind of love!

[@shadowneko2841]

I love this version of Scars to Your Beautiful. It really touched me. I was badly bullied in middle school to the point that I have childhood depression, childhood PTSD and severe social anxiety. Seeing this song used for a school type setting touches a part of me that I try to keep buried. Thank you Evynne for using this setting for this song. It was beautiful.

[@christinakeegan5149]

Love it. This was the special song of a very special young woman who passed from cancer. Every time I hear it, I can only think of the positive impact she made on everyone's life. I never got to meet her, but I didn't have to. From thousands of miles away, she touched my heart. Lovely cover. :D

[@EvynneHollens]

Thanks so much. So sorry to hear about this young person dying from cancer.

[@christinakeegan5149]

[@heatherwelch9232]

This is stunning and so touching! It hits home for me because I got bullied so much in school and nobody took my pain seriously. I fight against bullies so much because they don't understand the damage they do. We are all human and we all bleed red. Beauty isn't just what's on the outside or the products you use, it's the strength and courage to live your dreams and have no fear. It's not easy. It's so unfortunate that this is still such a problem in society. The media and other social pages focus on the outside, but I feel we don't encourage the younger generation to believe in something more or to believe in themselves. You never know what that child or adult is going through at home, or internally and how you can really push them over the edge with cruelty. I hope more people find the courage to use the power of kindness, love, and positivity to influence a change that we desperately need not just here but all over the world. Think about how much better life would be if we made the choice to be kind, and good and show acts of love towards each other. It's so rewarding and mentally healthier to live that way. To put a smile on someone's face, to give a person a meal, to talk to the quiet kid in the back, make a friend, majestic a change. Thanks again Evynne for inspiring so many, and showing so much love in this world, let your voice be heard. ♡♡♡

[@heatherwelch9232]

make a change* sorry for typos

[@costanzarosamongioi5989]

+Heather Berry I totally agree with you! I know what it means to be bullied, so I try to be as open and kind as I can be. If only there were more people like tou, this world would certainly be a better place.

[@EvynneHollens]

Thanks for sharing Heather! Bullying is so horrible and we need to change the culture so that it is totally not acceptable. Thanks for watching.

[@heatherwelch9232]

You're welcome Evynne, together we can change the world! Keeping trying, and never give up! :)

[@heatherwelch9232]

Awe, thank you that is really sweet! You're awesome, never forget it!!! Keep up the kind actions, and never give up!

[@stpwebmedia]

Thanks to you and your husband for filling our home with beautiful music, our kids run to the couch to watch whenever we watch your videos.

[@EvynneHollens]

That's great! Thanks Paul!

[@gcgoetz69]

as someone who was bullied for my looks as a kid, I wish someone had shared this message with me. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and for sharing this message to future generations. I loved it.

[@EvynneHollens]

So sorry you went through that Gayle. Bullying is the worst! So glad you liked the video. The person you are inside is the only thing that matters!

[@analialumbreras8221]

Everyone needs to hear this message. I needed to hear this :)

[@EvynneHollens]

Thanks Analia. I couldn't agree more!

[@hlue4169]

Thank you SO much! Added this to my "remember you're a Daughter of God" playlist!

[@EvynneHollens]

Perfect! Thanks.

[@emmarobertson2775]

I can't believe this was two years ago I hope to sing with you more

[@AnaxErik4ever]

Everyone needs to listen to this, especially young girls feeling pressured to be beautiful and not who they are. Thanks for covering this song, from someone who feels insecure about not being thin.

[@EvynneHollens]

So glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

[@emmahansen6203]

This is such a beautiful song and a powerful hard hitting cover. Thank you so much for making this. I love it and I find it very encouraging. Thank you.

[@mycustomvoyage]

What an awesome group of talented kids! It's refreshing to see young women being able to express their confidence within themselves. You did great too Evynne!

[@EvynneHollens]

Thanks so much David. I appreciate your support.

[@abbystumbo7274]

That high note was BEAUTIFUL! You covered this song so well. It is currently-and will always be- one of my top favourite songs. Good Job & God Bless You!

[@jacquelinemccann6372]

[@kateaustin6311]

Crying at the end of this video. Such power in these young women - being able to say aloud something that's beautiful in them - imagine how many more beautiful qualities they possess! Love you, Ev. Love you, and what you stand for and what you inspire in others.

[@EvynneHollens]

Thanks so much Kate! Appreciate it.

[@katiehanna90]

*****

[@aubreyfagnano4015]

that was amazing Evynne! this song is truly touching. I was bullied in school and it hurt. but now, I'm in college and getting along with a lot of people around me. never listen to bullies, they don't know what they are talking about.

[@EvynneHollens]

That's for sure! They are just insecure themselves. Thanks for sharing and watching!

[@aubreyfagnano4015]

Evynne Hollens thanks. and u got that right

[@jenniferstokley3112]

This was so emotionally powerful, bless you for having the girls in this! It made the message really stand out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@noahvaldez7209]

Great video. You did a great inspiration for women. Looks never matter. What's ALWAYS is, the inside counts.

[@EvynneHollens]

So true! Thanks Noah.

[@noahvaldez7209]

No problem.

[@Jaely12344]

thank you, just thank you. having these kind of videos from artists like you I think is important. so thank you.

[@megvantair740]

I never realized how deep the lyrics were until you sang them! I did love Alesia's version too of course

[@Musicteachersheff]

Made me cry! I am going to try to get permission to play this for our Jr. High girls! Such a great and important message for our girls!

[@EvynneHollens]

That would be great! Thanks!

[@edisakuroki5414]

Oh my gosh, this is one of my favorite songs.

[@ivanruiz4178]

[@EvynneHollens]

Muchas gracias Ivan.

[@dragonflies6793]

I heard this on the radio as well, but I think you did much better! Thanks for, as usual, making beautiful music for us.

[@TheRichrocker]

While the song itself (the song itself, not its execution!) isn't my favourite one you ever did, I really appreciate and love the message of this one. Being a father of two precious little girls I really relate to this and I hope that role models like you will go on to change the world for them! I watched this at work with a bunch of young women and they were fascinated too. So: Please go on being you! Greetings from Austria!

[@EvynneHollens]

Thanks so much and for sharing it with people at work.

[@arielalena]

WOW 😍👏 I love this song & cover Evynne 💖

[@arielalena]

I was just singing it & I found this in my sub box & I got super excited 😂☺️

[@EvynneHollens]

That's great! Thanks Ariel.

With two daughters of my own this made me start crying. It's been a long road but we are all healing our hearts together. Thank you Evynne! Thank God for you and your amazing heart. Much love. 😂

[@EvynneHollens]

So glad you are on the road to healing. Thank you Bruce and take care!

[@meggypeggy9142]

This is so beautiful! So many girls tear each other down but us girl gotta stick together Evynne you are such an inspiration!

[@EvynneHollens]

That's right Megara. Thanks.

[@rosestormwolf]

This is a beautiful song, Evynne! This message is I think the most important thing that we as a society need to get young kids to understand. Everyone is beautiful just the way they are. :)

[@EvynneHollens]

That's right Cynthia! We need to keep putting this message out there to young people. Thanks for watching.

[@inaala_nailo]

Oh my god I love this so so so sooooooo much!! It's such a beautiful message, and such beautiful young women!! You always know just the right song to sing no matter what 😊❤️💛💚💙💜

Wow! Thanks so much Rachaelyn but please only do what is affordable. I so appreciate your support.

[@Maiya696]

I would love to see you, Peter or both on The Voice. You could totally win. Awesome job as always!

[@EvynneHollens]

Thanks so much. In fact, they asked us to audition twice but decided they didn't want a duo.

[@Maiya696]

***** they bumped their heads. they had a girl duo on during this seasons blind auditions. It's their loss.

[@baileeharding8886]

Thank you Mrs. Hollens for making this video. I know many girls will find this inspirational. I love that you did this! Keep up the good work! 👍🏽

[@EvynneHollens]

Thanks Bailee. I appreciate it.

[@costanzarosamongioi5989]

This was really moving, it made me cry. I have struggled a lot with how I am and how I look like, and what people think of me. It's really important to share this song so it can help more boys and girls out there! Thank you Evynne

[@KarenZirosSmith]

Remember Costanza, who you are on the inside is what's important. Thanks for your comments.

[@costanzarosamongioi5989]

+Karen Ziros-Smith thank you Karen :)

[@EvynneHollens]

Thank you!

[@stacysmom5043]

I remember this it was my first year in choir I was so nervous but I still had fun thank you!!!!

[@xseaangelx]

I wish I could sing as beautifully as you do on those high notes without sounding like I'm yelling. Whenever I sing higher notes in chest voice (regardless of proper breath control), it sounds like I'm yelling & my face looks like I'm in pain. You sound & look amazing. God bless.

[@courtneylewis2415]
