Product Description
SATB, a cappella
Written for the Early Light Academy Spotlight Singers (South Jordan, UT) and taken from actual responses from the students they were asked, "when people look at you, what do you want them to see?" This song is intended to be a very personal expression for the singers as well as for the audience.
Text:
I see: eyes and a face, hands and feet
You see: the same
I see: tears and a smile, working, moving
You see: the same
I see: pain, joy, strength, endurance
You see, you think you see-but you cant name it.
I see you, please see me.
When you look at me, see a person who isnt afraid to be-- just be.
I am tall or I am small, but I am happy to be me.
I may be confident or meek, I may be really strong or weak,
And if it changes week to week, it doesnt matter.
What matters is that you see me.
When you listen, notice that my voice may sometimes raise the roof
And other times it may seem aloof when I cannot find the proof
Of what is truth and what is fair, but listen til you hear me share
And know deep down I really care, because it matters.
It matters that you see me.
I see: someone who is strong and kind, someone who knows their mind,
Someone who struggles just like me, but keeps fighting endlessly
I see you, please see me.
I see: a soul who finly knows Im here
And doesnt judge if I bow down to smallish fears
You see me, and I see you, theres nothing greater we can do
Than to acknowledge were all travling down this road,
But not alone.
It matters-
That I see you-and you see me.
