Beauty is just a shell,
it wrinkles and drys with age.
But inner beauty never dies,
so let it out of it's cage.
No matter how rich,
the bars of gold might be.
It's what's inside that counts,
a hidden bird to let free.
So let it fly away,
and leave rainbows in its wake.
Let it shimmer incandescent,
be beautiful for goodness sake!
