Why are you trying to hide
what you really feel inside
behind make-up and fakes
as if your heart never breaks

Are you not a child within?
So pure and untainted by sin?
Do you really know the hardship of man
the way only grown-ups can?


It's not about numbers or years
Mostly it's about our tears...

How many have you cried
only to try to hide?

How many was shed over
others than you or used for cover?


Haven't you ever tried to show
your own special glow?
The light only you can shine
the part that makes you so fine

Why try to hide what should be shown?
You are nobody if you ain't your own.
So smile a little more and let that be you
the you that is shining and new

The you that love yourself
