How much have you seen
Underneath the pieces of metal
Inside the mighty defense
Of a great knight in battle?
How are you so sure
That beneath those gowns
Is a beautiful perfect skin
Of an elegant fierce woman?
Have you ever thought
That a great loved King
Would have been branded
With bruises by cruel wars?
Have you ever considered
That a sweet gentle woman
Have her soft smooth skin
Be decorated by scars?
How much do you know
What have a person went through
If you've only seen their shells
But have never seen their flesh...

How much have you seen
Underneath the pieces of metal
Inside the mighty defense
Of a great knight in battle?
How are you so sure
That beneath those gowns
Is a beautiful perfect skin
Of an elegant fierce woman?
Have you ever thought
That a great loved King
Would have been branded
With bruises by cruel wars?
Have you ever considered
That a sweet gentle woman
Have her soft smooth skin
Be decorated by scars?
How much do you know
What have a person went through
If you've only seen their shells
But have never seen their flesh...
