The Beauty Inside

Story Behind The Song

I always thought of this song as "The Disney Song"! It's a story about a girl who is in a tough place but has hope, dreams and determination for what the future can bring. Definitely a potential "orphan to princess" story!

Lyrics

VERSE 1
Seems to me I'm invisible
Does my heart beat, do I breathe?
I look up, people stare right through
So much hidden that they never see

CHORUS 1
I am the flower waiting to be noticed
The sculpture waiting to be seen
I am the instrument waiting for the soloist
The romance waiting for the dream
I need someone who wants to see through
The barriers to what they hide
I need someone who can realise the beauty inside
Beauty inside

VERSE 2
No place here for the careless touch
Scared of letting love show
Trust comes hard when it's been betrayed
But I am trying, I can learn, I know

CHORUS 2
I am the springtime waiting for the summer
The play waiting for the stage
I am the promise waiting for the moment
The tapestry waiting to be made
I need someone who, wants to see through
The barriers to what they hide
I need someone who can realise the beauty inside
Beauty inside

BRIDGE
The only moments of escape, are when I close my eyes
When I pretend I'm far away from here, a different life

CHORUS 3
I am the darkness waiting for the sunlight
The lost waiting to be found
The hurt waiting for the healing
The silence waiting for a sound

CHORUS 4
I am the rose waiting to blossom
The banner waiting to be raised
I am the banquet waiting to be tasted
The symphony waiting to be played
I need someone who, wants to see through
The barriers to what they hide
I need someone who can realise the beauty inside
Beauty inside, beauty inside, beauty inside

"The Beauty Inside" demonstrates your in-depth knowledge of the marriage between a theatrical song form and a poetic presentation.
