Please Look a Little Deeper

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 a little deeper,
Way deep down inside,
And although you may not see it,
I have a lot to hide,
Behind my clothes my secrets lie,
Behind my smile I softly cry,
Please look a little deeper,
And maybe you will see,
The lonely little girl,
That lives inside of me,
Please listen carefully to her,
She'll show you 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 maybe if you look deep enough,
You'll find the real me.
