Lyric

Why do you suffer

Not turning away from me

I wanted you to see

To set you free

From the start I've loved you it's true

A rare soul kind through and through

Just having you near feels so pure

But why did you come my way

You seem loved by all in every way

Did you stray to my side in your dismay

That thought makes my heart sway

There's no need to rank a human’s worth

But you’re someone who lives with honest grace and mirth

Yet I saw you wear a mask of vain disguise

And it hurt to see through those lies

Run away even if it’s just a thought

Change your view and the world’s not so fraught

The beauty in people can’t be erased

Even when dirt they’ve embraced

You know this truth deep inside

Yet chose to wear a mask of pride

You don’t have to pretend it’s okay

Show your kindness and your strength will stay

But why did you come my way

You seem loved by all in every way

Did you stray to my side in your dismay

That thought makes my heart sway

There's no need to rank a human’s worth

But you’re someone who lives with honest grace and mirth

Yet I saw you wear a mask of vain disguise

And it hurt to see through those lies

Run away even if it’s just a thought

Change your view and the world’s not so fraught

The beauty in people can’t be erased

Even when dirt they’ve embraced

You know this truth deep inside

Yet chose to wear a mask of pride

You don’t have to pretend it’s okay

Show your kindness and your strength will stay
