Can you see me now?

I used to chase my shadow through the fire and the rain,

Burned every bridge I built just to feel the flame.

You stood there in the doorway, your eyes were made of grace,

While I was drowning in the bottle, attached to my face.

I know I made you worry, I know I made you pray,

And I would give the world to show you I’ve changed today.

Can you see me now, from where you are tonight?

I’m sober in the sunrise, trying to make it right.

Every scar’s a story of how your love pulled me through —

Mom and Dad, I hope you see me now.

There were nights I couldn’t look you in the eye,

Shame weighed on my shoulders like a storm across the sky.

But your voices in the darkness kept calling out my name,

Saying “Son, we still believe, no matter who you became.”

If heaven has a window, I hope you look my way,

To see the man you raised still fighting every day.

Can you see me now, from where you are tonight?

I’m sober in the sunrise, trying to make it right.

Every scar’s a story of how your love pulled me through —

Mom and Dad, I hope you see me now.

I’ve learned that love’s not lost, it waits behind the pain,

And forgiveness isn’t earned — it just falls like rain.

So I keep walking forward, though I still fall sometimes,

But i get back up, with your voices in my mind.

Can you see me now, can you feel my vow?

I’m doing better, but I’m still learning how.

If I never get to tell you face to face somehow —

Mom and Dad… I love you.

Can you see me now?
