Ooh, nice prompt. Had a go
Lyrics
Your undercover heart Says things you won’t reveal Afraid of being judged Afraid what people might say Your undercover heart Knows you in every way
You seem like a machine Always so serene Never showing emotion Like acting in slow motion A finely tuned machine Or maybe something in between
Your undercover heart Wants to see the light To come into the world Kiss a loved one good night To open up and talk Go swooping like a night hawk
Your undercover heart So afraid of being judged Whatever people say Your undercover heart Knows you in every way

What a beautiful song -- "Your undercover heart/Wants to see the light" is a great image. Love the match between the lyrics and your guitar. I especially like the way the major chords lift in and out of the minor.
Love the music on this--terrific lyrics and vocal also. REALLY a nice song! ❤️
I like this imagery, of your inner heart that truly knows us and has a more beautiful version of living ready to share with us. The final likes hit it home! Nicely skirmished.
