I can see you; can you see me
Do you really know my life
It was a precious gift to me
Do you understand the reason why
Or will you simply pass me by?


I come to you, shaken and torn
Far weaker than I hoped to be
On the day that I was born
Now not the faintest memory.

Do you see me suffering
Or do you see your greatest fear
And put me out of sight
Someone not meant to hold too dear?



I can see you; can you see me
Do you really know my life
It was a precious gift to me
Do you understand the reason why
Or will you simply pass me by?


My life is full of choices
Just as yours, you would say
My path lies beaten down
Seemingly misguided along its way

And victims do come from this
Yet another one remains
But do you even see my pain?

I can see you; can you see me
Do you really know my life
It was a precious gift to me
Do you understand the reason why
Or will you simply pass me by?


I ask you for your love
To fill the void that is in a life
Please look and see and be the one
to touch and heal inside

For I may die to take the sin
And you may die to take me in
It's an agony born to the end
Or a gift to begin

I can see you; can you see me
Do you really know my life
It is the greatest gift to me
If you understand the reason why
Or will you simply pass me by?


I can see you; can you see me too?
