Lyrics

Mirror mirror, mirror on the wall
Tellin' those lies, pointing out your flaws
That isn’t who you are
That isn’t who you are

It might be hard to hear, but let me tell you, dear
If you could see what I can see, I know you would believe
That isn’t who you are
There’s more to who you are

So when it’s late, you’re wide awake
Too much to take
Don’t you dare forget that in the pain
You can be brave, hear me say

I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you (oh so priceless)
Irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable
Darling, it’s beautiful
I see it all in you (oh so priceless)

No matter what you’ve heard, this is what you're worth
More than all the money or the diamonds and pearls
Oh, this is who you are
Yeah, this is who you are

So when it’s late, you’re wide awake
Too much to take
Don’t you dare forget that in the pain
You can be brave, hear me say

Sisters, we can start again
Give honor till the end
Love, we can start again
Brothers, we can start again
Give honor till the end
Yeah, we can start again

I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you (oh so priceless)
(You're) Irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable
Darling, it’s beautiful
I see it all in you (oh so priceless)

I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you
I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you (we can start again)

I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you
I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
Oh so priceless

Meaning & Inspiration

Released in 2016, "Priceless" by for KING + COUNTRY stands as a powerful anthem of inherent worth and divine perspective, aiming to dismantle the insidious lies that erode self-esteem and replace them with the truth of God's unfailing love. The song directly confronts the internal monologue of self-criticism, personified by the "mirror on the wall" reflecting flaws and untruths. This imagery immediately taps into a universal struggle, resonating with anyone who has battled with insecurity, a sentiment echoed in scriptures that speak against the deceptive nature of our own hearts and the world's superficial valuations. The core message is a bold declaration that what we see in ourselves, or what the world tells us we are, is often a distorted reflection. For KING + COUNTRY passionately asserts that there is a deeper reality, a truth that transcends personal failures and societal judgments.

The narrative of "Priceless" unfolds as an encouraging address, urging listeners not to succumb to despair when facing life's difficulties, encapsulated in the lines about being "late" and "wide awake" with "too much to take." Instead, it calls for a courageous embrace of strength found in faith, a notion deeply rooted in biblical teachings. The song beautifully illustrates this through vivid metaphors, particularly the vision of being "dressed in white" and seeing a "rose in bloom." This imagery directly connects to biblical concepts of purity, redemption, and spiritual growth. Being "dressed in white" strongly alludes to the cleansing power of Christ's sacrifice, as described in Revelation 7:14 where the redeemed are those who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, signifying forgiveness and a fresh start. The "rose in bloom" is a potent symbol of beauty emerging from what might have seemed barren or broken, representing the flourishing life that God cultivates in believers, a testament to His transformative power, akin to Isaiah 35:1, which foretells the desert rejoicing and blooming like the crocus.

The central thesis of "Priceless" is its unyielding assertion of an immeasurable value, a worth that surpasses any material possession or worldly achievement. The lyrics explicitly state, "No matter what you’ve heard, this is what you're worth / More than all the money or the diamonds and pearls." This powerful statement directly challenges the world's often materialistic and conditional definitions of value, aligning perfectly with the scriptural understanding that true worth is found in being created in God's image and loved unconditionally by Him. The song echoes the sentiment of Ephesians 2:10, which states we are God's "handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works," emphasizing our purpose and intrinsic value as His creations. Furthermore, the repeated declarations of being "Irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable" resonate with the unique and singular design each individual possesses as a child of God. The call to action, "Sisters, we can start again. / Brothers, we can start again," extends this message of hope and renewal, suggesting a communal journey of embracing this truth and supporting one another in its realization, mirroring the Christian imperative to bear one another's burdens and encourage one another towards love and good deeds, as found in Hebrews 10:24. The song’s overarching message is a profound reminder that our identity and value are not determined by our past mistakes or present struggles, but by the unwavering, selfless love of God, who sees us not as flawed individuals, but as precious beings, eternally and undeniably "Priceless."
