THROUGH MY EYES

THROUGH MY EYES
score: Fiona Johnson lyrics: Valerie Foley
singer: Scott James

To See the World through my eyes
It changes shape and it changes size.
It’s not quite the world you see.
If you could find a way
To look around inside my mind
Maybe you would understand me.

I’m not blind but I can almost see.
I’m not deaf but things sound strange to me.
I’m not trapped but it’s hard to feel free.
Imagine what it’s like to be me.
Imagine what it’s like to be me.

It’s hard for my to try
to think things through, or talk like you.
Everything can be a blur sometimes,
But if you walk along beside me,
Hold my hand and guide me
Together any mountain we can climb.

Cause I’m not blind but I can almost see.
I’m not deaf but things sound strange to me.
I’m not trapped but it’s hard to feel free.
Imagine what it’s like to be me.
Imagine what it’s like to be me.

Dreamin bout my future
And it’s brighter than you know
I’ll get there on a different road
When I am ready to go

I don’t need pity. I don’t need tears.
I just need someone to help me understand my fears.
Tell me you believe in me.
Let me know that I’m okay
Help me feel safe and warm
And I will find my way.

Cause I’m not blind but I can almost see.
I’m not deaf but things sound strange to me.
I’m not trapped but it’s hard to feel free.
Imagine what it’s like to be me.
Imagine what it’s like to be me.
