There's More to Me Than This
Rising at sunrise and falling back to sleep again
Until the alarm rings
And there's more to me than the way I floss
Or brush these pearly whites
The way I do this unruly hair
There's no shadow that follows me
Taking notes of my sighs
Or analyzing the way I make my way
Down the freeway
I make my way
That's what I do but
There's more to me than this
And there's more to me than meets the eye
It's not always a genuine smile
On my face
Suppose it was a grimace
Discomfort in the routine of the everyday
Tell me I am pleasant
A joyous reflection
A gracious peace offering sent by God
I feel the same about you
As much as I wish these things could be written of me
I know the truth
There's much more to me than this.
