Here is a song I wrote to my daughter. Different Point of View. I am including the lyrics below. I hope you enjoy.
It’s those moments that you can’t see
Memories of yesterday, where I can’t be
The world keeps on spinning while I’m standing still
They say it will get easier, but I don’t think it will
Holding you back is what I did
With mixed emotion of trauma growing up as a kid
Left to follow you when it wasn’t right
Seemed to be the only version of tears you felt at night
Your eyes became curtains of things you feel
Covered in a heartache that severs you still
How do I get back what we’ve both lost
When you’re always the one that’s seems to keep paying the cost
If you could see me now, what would you see
Would it be a reflection of who you really need
Would I make you proud, like I used to do
Would you look at me now with a different point of view
I’ve picked myself up and I get stronger everyday
But that’s not the version of me you saw yesterday
Now I’m standing tall and looking ahead
Wishing I could change all the memories you’ve ever shed
Time was against all the pain I couldn’t heal
Ticking through the moment now space to find and steal
Pushing through the darkness trying to light my way
Leaving you behind in a world that you have today
How do you look in a reflection that hurts you so
Too many emotions, like age they grow
I can’t give you now, what is lost
I can only pray your vision of me it won’t cost
If you could see me now, what would you see
Would it be a reflection of who you really need
Would I make you proud like I used to do
Would you look at me now with a different point of view
I’ve made my mistakes, and I almost died
I’m sorry for all the emptiness that you’ve ever felt inside
Finding myself in a world I now want to stay
From the different me you remember from yesterday
Healing from a life you used to see
Is my bridge of hope leading you back to me
Now in front of you here I stand
With nothing to offer but my hand
If only step by step and breath by breath is what we do
Maybe then you’ll get the chance to see a different point of view
If you could see me now, what would you see
Would it be a reflection, of who you really need
Would I make you proud like I used to do
Would you look at me now, with a different point of view
If you could see me now, what would you see
Would it be a reflection, of who you really need
Would I make you proud like I used to do
Would you look at me now, with a different point of view
If you could see me now, what would you see
Would it be a reflection, of who you really need
Would I make you proud like I used to do
Would you look at me now
Would you look at me now
Please look at me now
Will you look at me now
With a different point of view
