you wandered in
to the forest
followin
that shiny red ball
and by the time
you looked up
you were lost
but that's not all
you confused your journey
with my journey
you tried to nailed me
like minerva to your brow
but my job here
is not to deliver you
but to hold a mirror
till you see how

oh say can you see me
oh say can you see me
oh say can you see me over here?

you want me
to tell you a story
but i am weary
of entertaining
i'll have more
to say when i'm happy
course then i'll have less
to sing

there's no me
left for me
no anecdotal time of day
no wild adventures
except in darkness
so dark i'd rather not say

oh say can you see me
oh say can you see me
oh say can you see me over here?
