Waiting to Be Seen

[Intro]
Lost in shadows, searching for light
Carrying the weight of endless night

[Verse 1]
Mom, if you saw me through different eyes
Would you see the truth behind the disguise?
Could your love find a safe place to grow?
Or would fears and punches still overthrow?

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been healing little by little, day by day
Holding on to hope that one day
A brighter dawn would wash this pain away

[Chorus]
Can love be gentle when it’s born from scars?
Can someone see beyond the broken parts?
Waiting for a future where I can breathe free
In a place where I can just be me

[Verse 2]
Dreams of Canada in twenty twenty-seven
A place to find peace, a sweet escape from heaven,
Where pain can fade and life can bloom anew
A hope that pulls me through

[Pre-Chorus]
Healing wounds in silence, holding on to hope
Thinking maybe there’s a way to cope
To find a safe harbor in a world so rough
Where love is enough

[Chorus]
Can love be gentle when it’s born from scars?
Can someone see beyond the broken parts?
Waiting for a future where I can breathe free
In a place where I can just be me

[Bridge]
Maybe someday, someone will understand
That beneath the pain, I’m still a person with a plan
To find my place, to find my peace
And to believe in love that’s real and sweet

[Outro]
Till then I wait, till then I hope
Holding onto dreams that help me cope
One day I’ll find a way to be seen
And love will carry me, finally free
