Do You See Her Now? |
LyricsLanguagesEnglish Vocalist gender Female [Verse 1] Who is this woman... Do you see her? Do you see her arms-- Like leather, cracked and weathered, A thousand lines of time, Brown and red spots like scattered memories No one thought to write. And her hands--so thin, so fragile, Veins rising toward the sky... [Verse 2] That face-- So many creases, Laugh lines falling low, Eyes that once must have been dancing Now barely seem to glow. Her steps are slow, uncertain, Each turn a quiet fear... You pass her in a moment-- But do you see her here? [Chorus - simple, repeatable hook] Who is this woman standing here? Worn by the weight of every year... Fading softly, disappearing-- Tell me... do you see her? [Verse 3 - life in one sweep] Can you see where she has been? The child playing hopscotch lines, Laughing like the world was kind, Do you see the hopeful woman, Carrying a child inside-- Holding life and holding promise, With both fear and quiet pride? The mother giving all her time, The wife who stayed through shifting years [Bridge - emotional core] Do you see the tears she swallowed? Do you see the love she gave? Every loss she carried quietly, Every heart she tried to save... Every moment, every scar-- Made her who she is... [Final Chorus - realization] Who is this woman? Look again-- She's every place that you have been... Every joy and every breaking, Every chance you've ever taken... [Outro - soft, powerful] Do you see her now... This woman... is me. |
