True Beauty
Oh beauty among uglyness
standing tall in all your wondrous
glory
Like a princess suddenly thrust into
a witches dinn
You are there but untarnished beauty
such as yours will never be eclipsed
Even though you are one in the midst
of many true beauty prevails
Stray Lillie's among the grass
Written and arranged by Mr Stoney L Belcher
