[Intro: Whispered] Shh... Stop lookin' down, baby... Look up... [Verse 1: Low, close] Been starin' at the floor so long, Countin' every crack, every flaw that you think is wrong. Head down, can't see nothin' but your shadow, But you been missin' all the light that's tryin' to follow. Every little mark you try to hide, Girl you think it's ugly but it's beauty in my eyes. [Pre-Chorus: Building, falsetto flip] Baby lift your head, lift your head up, There's a different view when you look up. [Chorus: Full, warm harmony] Cease starin' at the floor, Those imperfections on the floor, They ain't really who you are. Look upward, baby, look up, Somebody watchin', watchin' you, And they appreciate the way you are. Yeah they love you just the way you are, Imperfections and all, baby, you a star, Look up, look up. [Verse 2: More rhythm, confessional] You keep scrollin' through your faults like a list, Every scar, every slip, every time you missed. But I been watchin' you from a different angle, See the way you move, girl, you don't even know you graceful. You think you gotta fix it to be loved, But I been lovin' every piece you been runnin' from. [Pre-Chorus 2: Softer] So lift your head, lift your head up, Let me show you what I see when I look up. [Chorus: Bigger, with ad-libs] Cease starin' at the floor (at the floor), Those imperfections on the floor (oh they lyin'), They ain't really who you are (who you are). Look upward, baby, look up (look up baby), Somebody watchin', watchin' you (I've been watchin' you), And they appreciate the way you are (the way you are, yeah). Yeah they love you just the way you are (just the way you are), Imperfections and all, baby, you a star (you a star), Look up, look up. [Bridge: Stripped, falsetto, vulnerable] And I know it feels lonely lookin' down, World feels heavy when your eyes on the ground. But I'm right here, I'm right here starin' at you, Not your flaws, baby, I'm starin' at you. So... [Breakdown Chorus: Whisper to full] Cease starin' at the floor... Look upward, baby, look up... Somebody watchin' you, watchin' you, And they appreciate the way you are. [Outro: Ad-libs over hum] Look up baby, look up... I appreciate the way you are... Way you are... Imperfections and all... Look up...
