From the Outside

Deep underneath,
 It's not always what it looks like from the outside
 Mama is in the kitchen, making breakfast for the children
 The smell of French toast wakes them up
 Papa is with the paper, in his sofa by the window
 There are no wars it all seems right
 But I say, mmm...
 Mmm...
 Late night at the office, Papa falls into temptation
 He says he married way too young
 Mama's by the TV, the kids wonder why she's weeping
 She's trying to cope with what he's done
 Deep underneath,
 It's not always what it looks like from the outside
 Sam seems always happy, a well mannered thoughtful student
 The future looks so very bright
 But Sammie is disturbed, insecure, feeling worthless
 Crying away to sleep at night
 Deep underneath,
 It's not always what it looks like from the outside
 But I'm not gonna live looking back
 What doesn't kill you, makes you tough
 It's forged the man I am
 It's forged, the man I am...
 Deep underneath,
 It's not always what it looks like from the outside
