The video presents a spoken‑word performance that weaves the chorus of Alessia Cara’s “Scars to Your Beautiful” with original verses. Two speakers, A and B, explore the pain of feeling unseen and judged for one’s appearance, questioning societal expectations, discrimination, and the search for belonging. The piece affirms that every person is inherently beautiful, urging self‑acceptance and a shift in collective attitudes. It ends with a contemplative note about fitting in and the desire for change, highlighting hope and empowerment through embracing one’s scars as part of identity.
Oh, she don't see her light that's shining deeper than the eyes can find it.
Maybe we have made her blind, so she tries to cover up her dim and cut her woes away. But CoverGirls don't cry after their face is made. But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark. You should know you're beautiful just the way The way you are, and you don't have to change a thing. The world can change its heart.
No scars to you, beautiful. We're stars and we're beautiful. I wake up every day and wonder where do I fit in?
Expectation, allegation, discrimination for the races. Whoa, I grew up in a world where looking different is a crime. Toxic stigmas and labels from over centuries of time. It's outdated and it makes us so we never feel alright in the bodies that we're in. Some things don't happen overnight. Tell me why is this the way it is?
The way that we're all living here today.
And will I ever change?
'Cause I don't think I wanna stay.
So what I'm trying to say is that it's time to take it back from your head to your toes, if you're white or if you're black, because for every scar, it tells a story, and the beauty from within is where there's really glory. And so I challenge you, whoever's here today, to look into the mirror and find one good thing to say. Every single human body is in fact a work of art, and you don't need to change a thing because the world can change its heart. No better you than the you that you are, hey! —no better life than the life we live in. Oh, oh, no better time to shine. You're a star. Oh, you're beautiful. Oh, you're beautiful. 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 stars, and we're beautiful.
