It’s not one
It’s not two, three, or four
It is so many many more
If there’s only few
It is always one or the other
Winners
Losers
One Above
More and more below
I’m right
You’re wrong, but...
I’m right, and
You’re wrong:
The question remains
It’s a point of view
A perspective you take
Standing here: all that looks wrong to me
Standing there: all of this looks wrong to me
You’re always right
You’re always wrong
when there are two choices
It’s not about a point of view
It’s not about where you stand
Or how loud you exclaim: “who?”
“Us?”,”Them?”
We’re right, they’re wrong
You’re always right
You’re always wrong
When there are two choices
It is about possibility
The vastness of it all
It extends beyond the horizon
Above and below, all over, each little bit
All endless, all forever, all infinite
Let’s open our eyes
Open our hearts
Open our minds
Open up to the truth:
We are infinite
We have choices, let’s decide
To no longer pick sides and divide
Let’s choose to open up
See what might be
Show people our vision
So they can see
Let’s decide
We’re done with yesterday
It’s gone
We must face the pain
We must face the hurt
But we must use it
To move us
Challenge us
Not to recreate it, but...
Create the future we all want

Beauty is on the Inside
I see you’re beautiful on the outside
Now I want to see if you’re beautiful on the inside
I want to see inside your heart, inside your mind
I want to know
what you want in life
I want to know
what you do when you don't get your way
I want to know
what you do when you don't like what others say
I want to know
if you’re as beautiful as you look
Just open your heart, open your mind, and let me inside
I don't need to tell you you’re beautiful because you already know
You don't need to be validated, and you don't need to be encouraged
Your beauty comes from inside so you are not afraid
Not afraid of what others will tell you or say
Not afraid to let others know, that the best part is what's beneath
I can see it coming through
your beauty radiates from within, it glows
through your eyes, through your smile
I know you’re beautiful girl, now, don’t be shy
Let that light beam out from inside
Don’t be afraid that it is too bright
Don’t be shy that it’s your light
I see your body
Now show me your heart
Show me your mind
That is where true beauty lies
Not with what our eyes tell us we see,
But from your vision, your ideas, your words
How you say it, believe it’s true,
Then look into someone else’s heart and make sure they believe it too
You’re more than beautiful
You’re more than words
There is so much more to you underneath
But that’s the part I love and want to keep
Now I want to see if you’re beautiful on the inside
I want to see inside your heart, inside your mind
I want to know
what you want in life
I want to know
what you do when you don't get your way
I want to know
what you do when you don't like what others say
I want to know
if you’re as beautiful as you look
Just open your heart, open your mind, and let me inside
I don't need to tell you you’re beautiful because you already know
You don't need to be validated, and you don't need to be encouraged
Your beauty comes from inside so you are not afraid
Not afraid of what others will tell you or say
Not afraid to let others know, that the best part is what's beneath
I can see it coming through
your beauty radiates from within, it glows
through your eyes, through your smile
I know you’re beautiful girl, now, don’t be shy
Let that light beam out from inside
Don’t be afraid that it is too bright
Don’t be shy that it’s your light
I see your body
Now show me your heart
Show me your mind
That is where true beauty lies
Not with what our eyes tell us we see,
But from your vision, your ideas, your words
How you say it, believe it’s true,
Then look into someone else’s heart and make sure they believe it too
You’re more than beautiful
You’re more than words
There is so much more to you underneath
But that’s the part I love and want to keep
