~Perfection~

What do I have to do
To be accepted by my friends?
What do I have to do
To gain nice words from them?
What do I have to do
To let some friendships mend?
What do I have to do
So they'll see the perfect gem?

I have to be perfect.
I have to be cool.
I have to be pretty,
And follow the rules.

What do I have to do
To be accepted by my parents?
What do I have to do
To gain respect from them?
What do I have to do
So they'll see my repentance?
What do I have to do
So they'll see the perfect gem?

I have to be perfect.
I have to be kind.
I have to make use
Of my small, silly mind.

What do I have to do
To be accepted by myself?
What do I have to do
To give myself a ten?
What do I have to do
To see beauty in myself.
What do I have to do
To I'll see the perfect gem?

I have to be perfect.
I have to be right.
I have to be noticed,
And be a delight.

What do I have to do
To be accepted by Daddy?
What do I have to do
To be anointed by his dove?
What do I have to do
To make my Father happy?

To have my Abba's love?

I have to be perfect.
I have to be holy.
I have to be spotless,
BUT JESUS IS THAT FOR ME.
