Believe You Me

The person I am
And the person I've been 
Doesn't always reflect
The person within
If you only look 
On the outside
Because the outside
Can sometimes tell lies

The person within
Should be the person without
So the people around
Will have no doubt
Of who you are
And what you stand for
The in and the out
Of a mans worth

You need to dig deep
To truly see
The ripeness of fruit
That's hidden beneath
To tell the truth 
You never can cheat 
On that simple fact
Believe you me
