Look over at me
Tell me what do you see?
Just remnants of love
That wasn't meant to be?

Or do you see something more?
Beyond the outside skin?
Do you see the child
That's lurking within?

Do you see the wisdom
Hidden in my eyes?
Do you see the washings
Of a thousand cries?

Do you see that tiny spark
Of the joy that's disappeared?
Do you see someone who's lived
Through everything she's feared?

Do you see the loss of innocence
Or someone wild and untamed?
Do you see the freest spirit
Or a rage that's been contained?

Do you see the mixed emotions
The confusion and the hate
The love and the happiness
Do you see what I saw too late?

Do you see the silent tears
I won't let stream down my face?
Do you see the silent struggle
Going on in my heart's place?

Do you see the little girl
Or the woman strong and tall?
I just have to wonder
Do you see me at all?
