Gentle Giant (Radio Mix)

I've never been a stranger to opinions about me
The body and the color are the first thing that they see
But if they took the time to get to know me they would see
My actions and my character are things that define me

You may take me, or you may leave me
But get to know me
You'll see a gentle giant
The surface could be deceiving
But look beneath it
You'll see a gentle giant

Notions that are pre-conceived don't matter much to me
It's human nature to be blind to certain qualities
Maybe it's our special way of dealing with our fears
But I don't need to tell you baby that is not sincere

I just had to laugh to keep from crying don't you see
A human being is what I am as big as I may be
Sadness, sorrow, they no longer keep me company
Self esteem and laughter are the company I keep

Everybody wants to be
Validated can't you see
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But they'll never turn my heart to stone

There's so much more to me than what you see

Just look beneath the surface and you will see ME!
