Citizen Way's 'Let Me See Your Heart' is a tender, encouraging song about a father's unconditional love for his daughter, emphasizing that her worth is not defined by outward appearance or others' opinions. The lyrics trace her journey from childhood to her sixteenth birthday, with the father consistently asking to see her heart, not what covers it. The song counters societal pressures and images that dictate how to look and feel, affirming that true beauty lies within. It gently points to God's perspective, suggesting that He sees and values our inner selves, offering a message of identity and worth rooted in love.

She was just a little girl he thought
When all this started
Daddy don't you think that I look nice?
Won't they like it?
So he sat her down and kissed her head
And told her what he thought
All I ever want from you is...
Let me see your heart
Not what covers it
Show me what's inside
Open all the doors
Don't You understand
How much you are worth
And when they tell you what you're not
Let me show you what you are
16 candles on the cake this time
One for every wishful thought
16 years of measuring herself
To what they wanted yeah
So he sat her down and held her hand
And looked her in the eye
All I ever want from you is...
Let me see your heart
Not what covers it
Show me what's inside
Open all the doors
Don't You understand
How much you are worth
And when they tell you what you're not
Let me show you what you are
Show you what you are
All the images outside
That tell you how to feel
How to look
And how to really be that beautiful
They could never measure up
To all you are inside
And that's the truth and how to really be so beautiful
When I see your heart
Not what covers it
Show me what's inside
Let me see your heart
Not what covers it
Show me what's inside
Open all the doors
Don't You understand
How much you are worth
When they tell you what you're not
When they tell you what you're not
Let me show you what you are
Show you what you are
Yeah
He'll show you what you are
