What makes someone hide behind an illusion created by lines, smudges and brush strokes.... Maybe it's Maybeline?
I love make-up just like the next person... But I will never hide behind it!
People say I'm expressive, passionate; they say "she tells it like it is".
I say, "God gave us free will". The way I see it, I'm just doing what he intended.

I wrote this song because of a woman I know that showed up one day after having a "make over". She looked so pretty, and yet... so, so sad. I knew what was wrong, I knew that even though she pretended to be happy, she was not. She was miserable. So, I simply said to her, "you look incredible, but remember, all the make-up in the world will not rid you of your troubles... you have to be strong from the inside-- out".

So go ahead ladies, smear on a little red lipstick and add some gloss too, but when the time comes, don't be afraid to open your mouth... and make sure that when you speak, you speak eloquently, you say what you mean... and always mean what you say!!!

I know there's a Lipstick Warrior in all of us... My Heart Tells Me So!
