"Please look a little deeper"
Please don’t judge me by my face.
By my religion or my race.
Please don’t laugh at what I wear,
Or how I look or do my hair.
Please look a little deeper --
Way down deep inside,
And although you may not see it.
I have a lot to hide.
Behind my clothes, the secrets lie,
Behind my smile, I softly cry.
Please look a little deeper,
And maybe you will see
The lonely little boy
That lives inside of me.
Please listen carefully to him --
He’ll show that he’s insecure.
Please try to be a friend to him
And show him that you care.
Please just get to know him
And maybe you will see
That if you just look deep enough
You’ll find the real me. |
