do you see me?
I'm the girl with the tattered dress
and the red sunglasses outside the store
do you see me?
I'm the man with no shoes
in the cardboard box all alone
do you see me?
I'm the woman with the white cane
and the seeing eye dog crossing the street
do you see me?
I'm the thug with the guns and knives
sitting on the corner waiting for you
do you see me?
I'm the little boy with no mommy
sitting on the park bench starting to cry
do you see me?
I'm the elderly woman trying to get home
with the bags of groceries and nobody to help me
do you see me?
I am the girl with the tattered dress
and the man with no shoes
I am the woman with the cane
and the thug with the knives
I am the little boy with no mommy
and the elderly woman trying to get home
I just want compassion
I just need some help
I just need to get by
I'm not asking that much
if you see me then why do you pass me?
why don't you give me your hand?
I don't want you to look down on me
but I do want you to look at me
for I am HUMAN and I deserve love
do you see me? I am your friend
