sun comes up it's still dark here
can it warm your face if it disappears
maybe you can tell me what's in a soul
when it's only wish is to never grow old
whatever you own you carry it around
words can't hurt if they don't make a sound
missing child with big blue eyes
ward off the chill with a blanket of lies
Can you see me
when I walk past
or do you step over me
like broken glass
was I half empty or half filled
can you see me...someday you will
brand new town a brand new name
funny how everything looks the same
take off my clothes....let down my hair
bring home the money and set it there
funny thing is...I can still see the stars
you never really have to look that far
a friendly smile a welcome hand
slowing down that hourglass sand
Can you see me
when I walk past
or do you step over me
like broken glass
was I half empty or half filled
can you see me...someday you will
So now I lay me down to sleep
I wonder if the Lord does weep
he may die before I wake
there's only so much that he can take
you can call off your search you won't find me
can only discover what you wanna see
besides I don't want you in my head
go and tuck your children in to bed
I'll tell you trust is a funny thing
sometimes it hangs from the end of a string
and you reach for it before you fall
with the faith you had when you learned to crawl
Can you see me
when I walk past
or do you step over me
like broken glass
was I half empty or half filled
can you see me...someday you will
