"Our Deepest Fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure"


[Intro]

The brightest star you cannot see
Even when the sky is as dark as can be
Because shame is your heart's cloak
And I have its invisibility

[Verse]

But I know that someday soon
You will look in the sky for me
When it is as blue as can be
And suddenly you will see me
Yeah you will see me

[Chorus]

Now I am a beautiful sun
Oh now you see me
All of a sudden
I am what you have been looking for
All of your life
All of a sudden I am the only one for you
Oh now you see me
Pride is my heart's cloak
You have its invisibility

[Verse]

I wasn't the ripest apple on the tree
But I was sweet enough for me
And with your eyes you bit into what you saw
And said the taste was as bland as can be
But suddenly they have had a change of heart
Suddenly they can see

[Bridge]

Oh now you see me
Oh now you see:

[Chorus]

Because now I am the ripest apple on the tree
Oh now you see me
All of a sudden
I am what you have been looking for
All of your life
All of a sudden I am the only one for you
Oh now you see me
Too bad for you
Because now I see:

[Outro]

I am sweet enough for me
Yeah I am sweet enough for me
I am sweet enough for me
Because of the beautiful sun
That shines in me


The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this piece through the understanding that a lot of people don't appreciate others for who they are inside and focus too much on the outside. What is inside that counts. Might sound cliche but its true. I hope others will be able to relate to the lyrics and see their situation or even themselves in them. Thanks for reading!
