[Verse 1] Little eyes see all the world with wonder in disguise, Bright colors, shapes, and sounds beneath the endless skies. But don’t you fret, my little one, or get lost in the lies — There’s more to folks than what you see; it’s deeper than their ties. [Verse 2] You see the freckles on a face and think it’s just a trait, But beauty lives in how they laugh and how their hearts relate. The look they wear, the style they share — that will never rate; What makes them kind, what fills their mind, the love they radiate. [Chorus] Look beyond the skin, my dear — look beyond the skin. Underneath the surface lies a story deep within. People are like books, my love, with chapters to begin — So look beyond the skin, my dear; look beyond the skin. [Verse 3] You’ll meet with hair of every hue and voices low or high; Some will dance and some will sing and some will never try. But what’s within their eyes, my sweet, is where the treasures lie — Compassion, smiles, and understanding — that’s the truest tie. [Bridge] The clothes will fade, the trends will change, but twinkles in the eye Stay just the same and light the flame through every long goodbye. [Final Chorus] Look beyond the skin, my dear — look beyond the skin. Underneath the surface lies a story deep within. People are like books, my love, with chapters to begin — So look beyond the skin, my dear; look beyond the skin.
