WHY CAN’T YOU SEE?

You are strong 
You are smart, thoughtful, beautiful.
But you are blind.

Why can't you see the way
They look at you
They're so jealous 
Of your wisdom, your kindness,  
Your beauty, your power
So why do you hide?

Why can't you see the way 
That I look at you 
My admiration turns me
Into a puddle on the floor
I feel so helpless 
Beside your talent
But you are blind.

If only one day you could wake up
And see yourself
The way they see you 
The way I see you
You'd be so confident
You wouldn't try to hide 
You'd change the world
I know you can. 
So why can't you see?
