I wonder can you see when you look at me,
Can you see what lies within,
Or do you see only what you want to see,
Can you see what lies within,
I wonder do you see all the things in me,
Do you see the little girl with trusting eyes,
And if you do, can you see more,
Do you see the things that hurt me deep inside
How they haunt the quiet corners of my mind,
Do you see all the things of which I dream,
Can you see things aren't always what they seem,
Do you see the fears that linger there,
That sometimes catch me unaware,
Do you see how sometimes they catch me when I sleep,
The way they scare me as I dream and make me weep,
Do you see the core of me, the most important part of me,
The ideas that crowd my head and give me no peace,
The love that lives within my heart for all that is,
The flame of hope that flickers, but never dies,
That somehow, someway, one day.......
Tell me does anyone see, tell me does anyone care.....
