• 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 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 deeper.

    And maybe you will see,
    The lonely little girl,
    That lives inside of me.
    Please listen carefully to her.
    She’ll show that she’s insecure.

    Please try to be a friend to her.
    And show her that you care.
    Please just get to know her.
    And maybe you will see,
    That if just look deep enough,
    You’ll find the real me.
