Can You See What I See?

Can you see what I see?
I see something new
Something special
Like the way you talk about what you believe in
Nothing is ever meaningless
No matter how futile you think life is
There is always meaning in life
Can you see what I see?
I see changes
New pathways, new opportunities, new experiences
Changes from what everybody expects
When I am sad and lonely
Dark and blue
I see the faces of others like me
And who shares the same pain as me
I know that they care for me
Can you see what I see?
I can see the world changing for me
