If I could delve into your soul
and see 'me' through your eyes
I wonder just what I would view
and would I realize
That you may look at me some other way
than the person I think I am
and would I be ashamed of me
and would I even understand
If God would put your thoughts in me
I wonder what I'd find
would you be glad to see me
or would you be unkind
I wonder what folks think of me
as I walk down the street
I wish that I could read their minds
these people that I meet
I'd like to be a kindly soul
but do you see me another way
if I came to visit for awhile
would you wish I wouldn't stay
I'd hope you'd see me as a friend
for if you could delve onto my soul
you might look at me with kinder eyes
this tired heart, grown so old
