Prompt / Lyrics
I don"t have to know you or anything about you to know that you are familiar with pain. That you have felt the sting of life, the sharp point of the world"s unguided knife. That you have felt the unyielding ache of a broken heart, the depths of sadness or the bitter cold of loneliness. No, I don"t have to know you or anything about you to see the way you walk, slightly bent and tired from the weight you have carried on your shoulders for so long. I don"t have to see your tears to know you have cried yourself to sleep in the darkness, many times. I don"t have to see your scars to know you are well aware of what it feels like to have your own blood poor from your body. I don"t have to touch you to know you have felt intense fear or the burning heat of anger. I don"t have to know you or anything about you to know you have needs that are not met and dreams that were cut short. All I have to do is SEE you and know that you, like I, are human.
