Daddy can't you see me even though you're so far away?
Daddy can you see me
         Grasping tightly to your thumb
                   With my tiny little hand?
                             Can you see my
                                       Tiny eyes glancing up at you
                                                                               In wonder?


Daddy can you see me
         As I take a tiny step
                   Slowly, one at a time?
                             Can you see me
                                       Stumbling and falling but never
                                                                               Giving up?


Daddy can you see me
         Walking into that new building
                   With my head held high?
                             Can you see me
                                       As I take another step closer to
                                                                               Growing up?


Daddy can you see me
         As I take I buckle myself in
                   Taking the next step into adulthood?
                             Can you see my
                                       Nervous anticipation over the next step
                                                                                         Of become free?


Daddy can you see me
         As I stand there in cap and gown
                   Preparing for the colossal change approaching?
                             Can you see me
                                       As I walk across that stage, leaving behind
                                                                                         My childhood?


Daddy can you see me
         Even though you are so far away?
                   Do you see me as I grow and change;
                             Become a young woman
                             Independent
                             And forever in the realization
                             That you have missed so much of me?
                                       Daddy do you know
                                       That you are forever in my heart;
                                       A part of me that will never die?
                                                 You may be absent from this earth
                                                 But you will forever live on.
                                                           Daddy can’t you see?
                                                                     
                                                                     So much of you,
                                                                               I find in me
