I SEE
©Benn Cutarelli and Kara K. Smith

Verse
Whenever I deliver to the old folks’ home
He’s waitin’ by the window for me to come
I read for him his letters and the latest news
His lips move with each word like he could read them, too
Then he always wants to hear about my life
And when it seems I’m barely gettin’ by, he says…

Chorus
I see
You wanna do things right
And life’s puttin’ up a fight, but you’re not givin’ in
I see
You know how things get tough
But you’re more than man enough to keep on tryin’
So close your eyes and look inside to find
The man I see

Verse
He recollects his Navy days on distant shores
Comin’ home a hero from the war
For pulling out his buddy from a fiery fight
He earned a badge of courage when he lost his sight
His captain sat beside him in the dark
Then spoke the words that I’ve heard from his heart, when he says…

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
I used to think that bein’ blind meant someone can’t see
But this old blind man sees right through the heart of me, when he says…

Repeat Chorus
