I See You

(Verse 1)

Standing in line with a cart half full

Counting your change like it matters more than it should

You don’t look up, but I catch your face

There’s a whole life there I’ll never trace

(Verse 2)

You brush past me on a crowded street

Eyes locked down on your own two feet

We collide for a second, then you’re gone

Like you were never there at all

(Chorus)

I see you

Just as you come through

No story, no excuse

Just the things you choose

I see you

(Verse 3)

Hands in my hair, you don’t say much

But you learn a life through the way you touch

Every line, every quiet sigh

You hold more truth than you let by

(Verse 4)

Countdown ticking, you’re dressed in white

Strapped into fire, chasing the sky

Whole world watching you disappear

Wondering if you feel the same fear

(Chorus)

I see you

Not what you say is true

Just the things you do

When no one’s watching you

I see you

(Bridge)

The one who gives and never speaks

The one who takes and calls it need

The saint, the thief, the in-between

It’s all there if you let it be seen

(Break)

I don’t know your name

I won’t carry your blame

But I won’t look away

(Final Chorus)

I see you

In the light you choose

In the harm you do

In the good you move

I see you

(Outro)

Just for a moment

And that’s enough

I see you
