I See You - JJ Heller

I see you

The summer sun reflecting off the stream

The cardinal is shaking off its wings

Near the water

Where I wander

I see you

The leaves gently lifting in the breeze

A little girl with grass stains on her knees

Runs to her mother

Just to hug her

Every sunset is a stained glass window

Every park bench is a pew

There’s a sanctuary everywhere that I go

When my eyes are open

I see you

Standing in a crowded subway train

Somehow when I look in every face

It feels like family

I’m thinking maybe

I see you

In the people who are begging for their food

And the ones who pass them by in business suits

Everybody

Has your heartbeat

Every sunset is a stained glass window

Every park bench is a pew

There’s a sanctuary everywhere that I go

When my eyes are open

I see the glory of the works Your hands have made

I see the beauty in the sinner and the saint

Every sunset is a stained glass window

Every park bench is a pew

There’s a sanctuary everywhere that I go

When my eyes are open

When my heart is open

I see you

I see you
