Inner Beauty What makes a person beautiful? Is it what’s on the outside, or is it something else? August 16, 2006 Christian: Don’t change the subject, Angus. Steve: What is the subject? Anyway, It sounds pretty intense! Christina: Angus and Rex think Libeck and I need to look better onstage. So we’re going to do something about it. Rex: Go ahead, if that’s what you want to do. But I think you both look OK. Steve: Besides, what’s more important-outer beauty or inner beauty? Rex: Inner beauty, for sure. That’s the beauty that lasts. And thankfully, you both have it. Steve: That’s right. When you two sing, your faces glow with the kindness and love in your hearts. Angus: And your appearance is just fine, too. So don’t worry about it! Christina: Hmm. Maybe you’re right. Maybe we shouldn’t worry about it. (one week later, at rehearsal) Christina: I like you all to hear a new song I wrote. And I’d like to thank Steve. Angus and Rex for inspiring it. Libeck” It’s called “Inner Beauty.” Christina has asked me to sing it.(begins to sing) Inner Beauty Words and music by Christina Tasi Mirror mirror talk to me Tell me how beautiful I can be Show me how to be beautiful For all the world to see Mirror mirror said to me Didn’t you know that you’re unique Take a look at what’s inside You’ll find that’s where true beauty lies Chorus: Mirror mirror help me see How much I have inside of me One day I will clearly see I’m beautiful just being me I wanted to be different I gave up being me Searching for identity Lost in reality…(back to chorus)
