Beneath the Skin
I want to show you how I feel
(you always look on the outside)
A fire burns within me
(what's going on in the inside)
Life in the shadows seems so real
Darkens the life which I should feel
Can you tell me how to live
Obligated to give
To those who kneel
Try to say a prayer that touches me
A time when I drop everything and leave
But it is still here to haunt me
Give me a break beneath the skin
Softly speaks to the hate and sin
I feel my strength growing within
