Once Upon A Shadow, Deep Inside A Dream

I See You 02-14-06

In the corner, attempting to hide,
I see you.
On the stage and screen, full of pride,
I see you.

In the land that attempts to crush your spirit,
I see you.
In the land so free that some people fear it,
I see you.

In the shadows under great trees,
I see you.
In the cells issuing endless pleas,
I see you.

Laughing and loving with relish and delight,
I see you.
Weeping, depressed and alone in the night,
I see you.

Driving through a dense and endless haze,
I see you.
Sitting in bright sunlight during summer days,
I see you.

Feeling worthless and invisible, ugly and lost,
I see you.
Feeling joy and gladness, living despite the cost,
I see you.

Praying, seeking, praising My Name,
I see you.
Cursing, ignoring, forsaking Me for fame,
I see you.

I cry when you cry, I smile when you smile,
I love you.
I died for you, I chose you, even now,
I love you.

Because you are Mine,
I hold you.
If you accept Me as yours,
I'll save you.

Always and forever, My Children,
Because you're Mine and I love you.

Because I see you when you believe no one does.

I always see you.

I will always love you.
