Look Beyond The Surface

I'm not the shining star You pictured in your dreams I know I don't reflect The flawless image that it seems Some fill the chapel Lifting voices high While I hum a gentle tune Beneath the same sky Look beyond the surface See me as I am I'll pour my quiet love into This world the best I can Though my dreams seem small I'll tend them 'til they gleam Please believe there's light in me More than it may seem I sense your gentle sighs Wishing I stood tall Leading hymns on Sunday morning Shining for them all But my heart softly leads me Down a quieter lane I'll follow it with courage Trusting hope will still remain Look beyond the surface See me as I am I'll sow small seeds of kindness Anywhere I can Though my voice is humble I still sing with honest grace Trust in who I'm growing to be I'll find my rightful place Look beyond the surface See me as I am I'll offer all the warmth I have Though I may seem so calm I might not lead the choir Or stand in grand acclaim But please, embrace the heart I hold My love remains the same
