Learning To See

Realizing our blindness is the fist step in learning to see.

Van Halen - Learning To See


Time after time we
Walk pass the window
But never see the ashes on the ground

Night after night
Watching the sky move
But never feel the earth spinning 'round

I didn't see you fallin'
I couldn't hear you callin'
Born with eyes wide open, never learned to see

I never meant to hurt you
Was right there crying with you
Why do we harm the only thing we want to be?

Trying to follow
Every footstep
I feel so lost along the way

Reading the scripture
Straight from the gospel
Never understanding what they say

I didn't see you fallin'
I never heard you callin'
I've got my eyes wide open, but haven't learned to see

Yeah!

I never meant to hurt you
Was right there crying with you
Why do we harm the only thing we want to be?

I just gotta be me
I just gotta be me

Yeah!

I didn't see you fallin'
I never heard you callin'
I've got my eyes wide open, but never learned to see

Yeah!

I never meant to hurt you
Was right there crying with you
We only cage the very thing we want to free

I just wanna be
I just gotta be me
