I have two sisters who have battled with anorexia, bulemia, and low self-esteem. I wrote this for the women around me who need to know that people see beyond what we look like.

Looks deeply into the realm of physical and inner beauty - the idea that you should look beyond what I look like and see the real me inside.

Lyrics
THE BEAUTY IN ME
Note: I am flexible and willing to change any part of the song to fit your needs;
please give it a chance!
Verse 1
Fashion and beauty, make me insane
It?s a contest, competition that we all play
Can we all look our best? Can we all look the same?
Do you really think, you know more than my name?
(chorus)
Do you, see the, beauty in me?
Do you, see the, beauty in me?
Can you see to my heart, beyond what?s skin deep?
Do you, see the, beauty in me?
Verse 2
The TV is filled with Hollywood smiles
Plastic bodies and skirts a mile high
The truth reveals it?s all just a lie
To be true to myself, I like what?s inside!
(chorus)
(bridge)
Why should I starve, or purge, to feel good about me?
Can?t I be who I am, and set my soul free?
(chorus)
