Story Behind The Song
Sometimes we want so much to be seen, acknowledged, validated by others that we get ourselves in compromising positions. In that moment, every childhood pain or trigger can change the choices we make in a split second. These decisions can not only hurt us even more emotionally but also physically, leaving us changed forever. In one moment, she wants to be seen by her boyfriend the one that got away and her mother, whom both don't believe in her talent. She wants, in the beginning, validation from them once her name is in lights. The next she realizes she only needs and wants to be seen by God. If we remember remember God is with us always & remember the true intention for our gifts we can see we've always been a star to Him & maybe save one person from having to say "Me Too."

Oh
Ohohohoh
Yeah
Oh This Baby Girl
She wants to be seen
She wants to be a star
But really
She wants you to see
Exactly who
Exactly who we are
Multifaceted Representation of God
Manifest in one soul
That's who we are
Oh no no no
But that's not what happened
Do you want to hear
How her story goes OoOoOo
Secrets of a LA Girl
Trying to find her way
In a cold cold world
Rejection after rejection
This much is true
She was hoping to be seen
Seen by only you
The debauchery and sin sin sin
That wasn't a part of her plan no
She didn't mean to take it this far
The wanting to be seen
The wanting to be a star
Discernment was missing
She realized
She fell for the disguise
Nefarious eyes
Damn those flashing lights
Oh how they shine so bright
Even with that being said
This much is true
Secrets of a LA Girl
Trying to find her way
In a cold cold world
Rejection after rejection
This much is true
She was hoping to be seen
Seen by only you
The casting couch is real
A dirty velvet blue
She never sits down
She's on her knees looking up at you
Looking for you
She didn't mean to take it this far
The wanting to be seen
The wanting to be a star oh
Audition after audition
What are they looking for
Like her they always want more
They say be girl next door and sexy too
But all she wants to do is sing
Has it happened to you
Me too me too me too
Secrets of a LA Girl
Trying to find her way
In a cold cold world
Rejection after rejection
This much is true
She was hoping to be seen
Seen by only you
By God My God My God
You'll always be seen
God always sees you
You'll always be seen
God always loves you
You'll always be seen
God always sees you
You'll always be seen
Oh these Hollywood things
Are not permanent imprints
Don't forget who you are
You've always been a star
All the struggle baby girl
Unnecessary through and through
He's always looking out for you
Now God wants to be seen by you
Now God wants to be seen by you
Now God wants to be seen by you
Now God wants to be seen by you
Now God wants to be seen by you
Now God wants to be seen by you
