'Beautiful Inside' is not about rights or wrongs. It is about you and I and the universal experience of being human. It is an attempt not to pass judgment, but instead, to listen and to understand what is really happening in people’s lives. Because when we go beneath what seem obvious, we’ll most probably find something surprising, something beautiful, something lovable, and something that just may remind us of ourselves. And through this, we hope that people will be able to see the beauty that lies in everyone, starting with yourself (yes, we’re saying you’re beautiful).
Lyrics
Beautiful Inside.
Oooo, oooo, oooo, oo, oo… (4x)
Verse 1
There’s something bout this world that, tells us things that are just not right
That you can judge things from the outside, from the outside, causes divide.
But what about the things on the inside? What about the things that are dignified?
So don’t be petrified, terrified, we’re by your side, we’ll help you fight, yeah.
Cause, once you know the truth, you’ll see you’re so beautiful, on the inside, on the inside, lets bring this to the outside.
Chorus:
We are, we are, we are, we are, (the stories of this world)
We are, we are, we are, we are, (the stories to be told)
Oooo, oooo, oooo, oo, oo… (it’s right here in the heart)
Oooo, oooo, oooo, oo, oo… (it’s right here where you start)
Oooo, oooo, oooo, oo, oo… (it’s right here in your heart)
Oooo, oooo, oooo, oo, oo…
Verse 2
The flesh can be deceiving, but the heart is all-receiving.
And that’s really worth believing, and conceiving, that’s my feeling, cause…
In truth, everyone is lovable, there’s a light, and it’s kinda beautiful,
It’s attainable, incredible, and possible, unforgettable, yeah…
So don’t be down and frown, and be bound to the ground,
But set your stories free and let us see the beauty inside.
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Yes, we have something good to share
It don’t matter who, or what, or where
So let it go now
Let it go now
Let it go now
Cause, once you know the truth, you’ll see you’re so beautiful, on the inside, on the inside, lets bring this to the outside.
We are, (it’s right here in the heart)
We are, (it’s right here where you start)
We are, (it’s right here in your heart)
We are, (the stories to be told)
It’s right here in the heart.
It’s right here where you start.
It’s right here in your heart.
