Don't be afraid to look me
in the eye to see through my heart.
There is so much more to me
than just my looks to see.
If you are only seeing
my heartaches and endless pain,
then look again because there is
so much you are missing.
Look in my heart to see all the
love and care there too.
Don't look down on me because of
the heavy weight I carry.
Look to see that I am still standing
after all the storms.
Life has been very tough on me
with all the troubles.
Oh! So much hurt broke me
into so many little pieces.
But look deep in my heart
to see how very strong I become.
Don't walk all over me because
I am fallen on the ground.
Just see that I don't stay there
too long but get up and go.
My hair might have some whites
and some grays to shine.
Maybe I am so tired to carry
all the scars and so much pain.
Just look in my heart to see if
you could have done it better.
Don't pass me by without seeing me
completely and all of me.
There is more to me than what
you see from the outside.
I am so much like you
with hopes and dreams inside.
All the beauty and love lay within
my very soul just like you.
Look in my heart now and tell me
what do you really see???
