Beauty - 2001

Do you see what I see
When looking at me?
I see a beauty inside
But the beauty that I’m speaking of
Is the non-surface kind.

Do you see what I see
When looking around?
I see the worlds beautiful people
Wearing the worlds beautiful crowns
But I cannot see the beauty
In the picture perfect movie screen
I cannot see the beauty
In the Beauty Pagent’s Beauty Queen
Maybe it’s too unreal
Maybe it’s too ideal
Maybe I just don’t see what’s the big deal.

Do you see what I see
When looking at her?
I see beauty…
Though the beauty I’m speaking of
Is not the one you’d prefer
There is so much beauty in her.

Do you see what I see
When looking around?
I see all the worlds beautiful people
Looking un-beautifully down
But I cannot see the beauty
In a model’s perfect figure
And I cannot see the beauty
In a heart that doesn’t deliver
Maybe it’s too unreal
Maybe it’s too ideal
But living like that to me
Does not appeal.

Maybe you’re too unreal
Maybe you’re too ideal
Maybe you just don’t know how to feel
Because hard as I try I cannot see
Any beauty in you.


But don’t get upset
Or going trying to hide
Because the beauty that I’m speaking of
Is the non-surface kind.
