I feel, I see

I Feel, I See
I feel, I see, for your sadness I care
without your knowledge your tears I share
we are strangers but I know you well
for I too have walked your hell
papers and news blacken my day
disaster and sadness the media's way
worldwide conflict to personal woe
I feel, I see, it's beginning to show.

I feel, I see, I hoist your freight
upon my shoulders, loaded, our weight
pulling me down, need to unload
your concrete pains before I explode
this burden of ours, must let it fall
straighten my back, walk proud and tall
discover our beauty, dispose of the fright
I feel, I see, your warmth is my light.

I feel, I see, but won't close my eyes
I'll balance our sorrows, see through the lies
with all of our smiles we'll brighten the world
this garden of wonders, no longer our shroud
happy and peaceful we'll colour the void
live in the life we chose to avoid
so open your heart, i'll open mine
I feel, I see, us strangers entwine.
