I see the beauty that’s in you
I do not deny your essence
I want to shine a light
A light that glows like fluorescence
I want to know just who you are
Go beyond the veneer
I want to bring out the inner you
I want that to come clear
It’s my hope that I will feel
The person that is you
And the whole wide world open up
To some kind of clearer view
If I objectify
What am I, what am I
If I objectify
Who are you, who are you
If I objectify
How I see what is true
Your beauty it so moves me
It stirs up my desire
I want to know if it’s just me
Or if everyone else feels your fire
So I go and paint me a picture
Or go and I write me a song
So maybe I can somehow get closer
Figure out why I feel so strong
Don’t want to negate your humanity
That’s not my motivation
Just want to express the love I feel
The love that gives me such elation
