Do you really care
to see what i see
or was it a dare
to come talk to me?
cant you see the beauty
in every little thing?
Can you see it?
or are you blind
i see a butterfly
flying high in the sky
but all you see
is another annoying insect.
Me, i have my eyes wide open
soaking it all up
you have your eyes closed.
why are they closed?
do you not see what i see?
you look inside the box
i look at everything else.
you think I'm weird.
cause i see things differently
do you not see it?
or do i need to open your eyes?
to see the secret
hidden from all
do you have your eyes open?
open your eyes
to see what i see
