Mandisa- True Beauty
Do you think that a California girl is supposed to have curls and wear a jean size 3?
All the curves in all the right places, spray tanned faces just like on TV?
And we read in the gospel of Vogue that we're all suppose to dress and move and be
Visions of perfection
Such a misconception
'Cause the real connection is deeper than the eye can seeWhat's inside of you
What's inside of me
The hands that made the moon and stars
The mountains and the seas
Made you wonderful, beautiful, marvelously
Let the whole world see your
True beauty
Don't know much about Dolce & Gabbana
Seems like a lot of drama to me
And you can keep all your red high heels
And open-toed shoes - I'm good in my bare feet
Let's gown to the nitty gritty
Enough sex and the city
What about purity?
Skin is just the surface
The passion and the purpose that's burning down inside us
Is really what we need to seeDoesn't come in a bottle, doesn't come in a box
You can't spray it on, you can't wash it off
You can't nip and tuck, you can't sew it up
So don't waste your timeIt's the love in your heart, the peace in your soul
The hope in your smile lets the whole world know
This little light - you gotta let it shine
All the curves in all the right places, spray tanned faces just like on TV?
And we read in the gospel of Vogue that we're all suppose to dress and move and be
Visions of perfection

'Cause the real connection is deeper than the eye can seeWhat's inside of you
What's inside of me
The hands that made the moon and stars

I chose "True Beauty" by Mandisa to represent Inner Beauty. This song is stating that the fancy
and expensive things such as Designer names, surgeries, tans etc... are not as that important compared to other things. This is represented well when the song says "The passion and the purpose that's burning down inside us is really what we need to see, doesn't come in a bottle, doesn't come in a box, you can't spray it on, you can't wash it off, you can't nip and tuck, you can't sew it up. Also "the hands that made the moon and stars, the mountains and the seas made you wonderful, beautiful, marvelously, let the whole world see your true beauty." This gives more of a religious perspective but even if you're not religious, I think that this song is saying that everyone was made differently and everyone has their own kind of beauty in them. Let people see who you are without all those things on the outside, "skin is just the surface."
