Lyrics:

​

Verse 1

She was homecoming queen my freshman year at County High,

But that summer she almost died on I-65.

Three years later she was back on the stage at our school.

She said it's not what appears to be...

These third-degree burns they're not me...

You and I, we are more than what we see.

​

Chorus 1

She said I have seen beauty...it's so much more

Than magazine dreams of a life we're dying for.

It's an old widow crying, holding new love's hand.

It's the light through (the) dark and pain;

A boy's last chemo---free to play;

Things our hearts just can't ignore...

Cause we want to believe

​

In the beauty of...the beauty of...the beauty of seeing more.

​

Verse 2

She stepped off the stage and a small crowd gathered round.

She smiled and she laughed, like the day she wore her crown.

Then somebody asked:  How can you feel this way?

She said it's not what appears to be;

These smiles they're not always me.

You and I, we are more than what we see.

​

Chorus 2

She said I have seen beauty...it's so much more

Than magazine dreams of a life we're dying for.

It's an old widow crying, rememb'ring love's hand.

It's the light through (the) dark and pain;

A sick child too weak to play;

Things we wish we could ignore...

Cause it's hard to believe

​

In the beauty of...the beauty of...the beauty of seeing more.

​

Outro

The beauty of...the beauty of... the beauty of seeing more.
