See the World - Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, Ellie Holcomb

I was reading Shel Silverstein while you fell asleep

Thinking about cosmic generosity, it’s a mystery

You roar like a lion, sleep like a lamb, watching your diaphragm

Breathing in and out, dancing through the clouds

I can’t wait to watch you see the world

With your own eyes, your own eyes

Just like me and my old man, we’re watching Peter Pan fly to Neverland

Someday you’ll fly away, find your own time and space

It’s a unique chemistry you carry in your genes, your own memories

You’ll make your own noise, sing with your own voice

I can’t wait to watch you see the world

With your own eyes, your own eyes

I can’t wait to watch you see the world

With your own eyes, your own eyes

When I see you in photographs

I can’t believe how young you used to be

I don’t know whether I should cry or laugh

They feel like the same thing to me

I can’t wait to watch you see the world

With your own eyes, your own eyes

I can’t wait to watch you see the world

With your own eyes, your own eyes
