Face Value

Face Value

Do you ever wonder what you`re doing ?
Trying to be what you`re not or losing your sanity ?
It`s a shame everyone worries so much,
About vanity.

Does anyone take us as we really are,
Or what we seem to be ?
Are we trying to be as we are,
Or someone`s dreamt up fantasy ?

Are we taken at face value,
Or can anyone see below the surface ?
Why try to be something or someone we`re not ?
Does it make any sense or have any purpose ?

Does anyone want us for what we are,
Or what they want us to be ?
If everyone were blind & had to judge by feelings,
They wouldn`t worry about the looks of her, him, you, or me.

What I am inside doesn`t show on the surface,
What`s inside someone is more important to me.
You can get good looking phony`s anywhere,
A good person "inside" is the way it should be.
