Esther

I’ve always been the quiet one, staying out of view

A little bit shy when I'm meeting someone new

But if you wait a minute, I can make you smile

I’ve got a patient spirit and a funny style

My name is Esther, I’m just taking it slow

Learning how to let my real self show

I just want to be accepted for who I am

To stand on equal ground, hand in hand

I just want to be supported when the road gets rough

To look in the mirror and know I'm enough

A little bit of grace is all I need

For the quiet soul underneath

I still think of high school, the water was cool

Washing over me in the baptism pool

I gave my heart to God, a Christian in the light

Trusting that He walks with me through the night

That same gentle love is what I pray to find

In the eyes of the world, open and kind

I just want to be accepted for who I am

To stand on equal ground, hand in hand

I just want to be supported when the road gets rough

To look in the mirror and know I'm enough

A little bit of grace is all I need

For the quiet soul underneath

I don’t need the center stage, I don’t need the crowd

My faith and my humor don’t have to be loud

I’m just asking for a seat at the table today

Where I am respected and wanted to stay

I just want to be accepted for who I am

To stand on equal ground, hand in hand

I just want to be supported when the road gets rough

To look in the mirror and know I'm enough

A little bit of grace is all I need

For the quiet soul underneath

Yeah, I'm stepping into the light to see

The beautiful person I'm meant to be
