Shine and Substance

[Intro] Glimmer and gloss, a spark in the crowd But mind the stars behind the cloud [Verse 1] Her eyes light the room, a tempting display Yet questions linger when words fade away Beauty may charm, but wit must stay To steer the boat through judgment’s bay [Pre-Chorus] Choose with caution, don’t be swayed by glow Measure the depth, let true worth show [Chorus] Don’t fall for the shine without a brain in flight Look for the map in the lines she writes Attraction fades, but wisdom stays bright Value the mind, it anchors the night [Verse 2] She dances on trends, a siren’s parade But steady hands change the plans we’ve laid Let purpose lead where passions persuade Let character guide where hearts have swayed [Pre-Chorus] Discernment calls through the glitter and gleam Seek a partner who shares the same long dream [Chorus] Don’t fall for the shine without a brain in flight Look for the map in the lines she writes Attraction fades, but wisdom stays bright Value the mind, it anchors the night [Bridge] Warning bells ring softly but firm and clear Beyond the surface, what you hold dear [Chorus] Don’t fall for the shine without a brain in flight Look for the map in the lines she writes Attraction fades, but wisdom stays bright Value the mind, it anchors the night [Outro] Seek light that lasts, beyond the glance and gloss Choose with wisdom, not just what’s glossed
