I wake up with the city before the sun
Cardboard pillow, day already begun
People pass like I’m part of the street
Eyes straight ahead, never at my feet
I’ve learned how to disappear in plain sight
A shadow at noon, invisible at night
Got a name, got a story, got a past
But most folks only see me as a moment they pass
Pre-Chorus
I’m not asking for saving
I’m just asking for space
To be more than a problem
More than a face
Chorus
Do you see me, or just look away?
Do you hear me when I don’t know what to say?
I’m not broken beyond repair
I’m still human, I’m still here
I don’t need you to fix my life tonight
Just meet my eyes, treat me right
Before you move on, before you leave
Just tell me—do you see me?
Verse 2
I had dreams once, same as you
Had a job, had love, had plans too
Life hit hard, and I missed a step
One wrong turn, then another one left
They say I chose this road, but they don’t know
How fast the ground falls out below
How pride gets heavy when help feels small
How silence can be the hardest fall
Pre-Chorus
If you knew my name
If you knew my pain
Would you still walk past me
All the same?
Chorus
Do you see me, or just look away?
Do you hear me when I don’t know what to say?
I’m not broken beyond repair
I’m still human, I’m still here
I don’t need your answers or your advice
Just a little mercy, a little light
Before you move on, before you leave
Just tell me—do you see me?
Bridge (Spoken or sung, quiet and powerful)
I see myself in the glass of your windows
I look just like you on a harder road
I’m somebody’s child, somebody’s prayer
Somebody God still calls “beloved”
If love is real, let it show
In the smallest kindness you know
Bridge (Build)
When you serve me, you serve the King
That’s what I heard the preacher say
So maybe this cup, this meal, this smile
Is heaven touching earth today
Final Chorus (Lifted, hopeful)
Now I see You when You look at me
Not with fear, not with charity
But with dignity, with holy grace
Like You see God in my face
You didn’t turn, you didn’t leave
You slowed your step, you chose to see
And for the first time in a long, long while
I remembered—I’m alive
Outro (Soft)
You don’t know what your kindness did
But tonight, I’m seen…
And that’s how hope begins
