I make up for what I lack in beauty with what I have in personality.

Our world is covered with vibrant colors
But can only be seen as black and white
Infested by all those creepy crawlers
Causing me to turn as dark as the night

My conscience keeps on pounding at the door
Hidden behind this tainted heart of mine
And I am aware deep within my core
If I'm like this, I will never be fine

They say that hope is much stronger than fear
And the light of goodness will soon prevail
We need a proof for us to hear
And not to let go from Heaven's kind tail

But a warm bright light exists inside me
That can change me back from black to pure white
But only if I cross the wide blue sea
Will I be as free as a flying kite
