I admit, I had bought Christina Aguilera's CD the week it came out. Though sometimes she can be something of a skank, she has a kickass voice. When I listened to the CD, I immediately fell in love with The Voice Within. It was just such a beautiful song, and it had such an awesome message. When Beautiful came out, I loved the video. It was so far away from the image that Christina had when she first came out with the CD. The video wasn't about Christina, it was about all the beautiful people in it - drag queens, gay lovers, an anorexic girl...I was pretty impressed.
So I was happy to finally hear The Voice Within on the radio, and couldn't wait to see the video.
But then I saw it, and it was all Christina. Hmph! She could have done SO much with a good video for that song, but she reverted back to the 'Look at me!' of her first videos.
Oh well....it's still a good song....
Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl, it's all right
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly
When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means
When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within
Young girl, don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away
Young girl, just hold tight
And soon you're gonna see your brighter day
Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you're lost outside look inside to your soul
Yeah...
Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning
You'll find all you'll ever need to know
You'll make it
You'll make it
Just don't go forsaking yourself
No one can stop you
You know that I'm talking to you
Young girl don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
