She Can See

She walks down the streets
The same streets as you or me
She looks at fallen faces
She looks - and so do we
Through ordinary eyes, eyes just like yours and mine
Not hard to find
So what it is that makes her see
While you and I remain blind?

She can see, what our hearts refuse to see
She can hear, what our minds refuse to hear
She can see the unshed teardrop
She can hear the unuttered scream
She shines on through the darkness
Like a healing beam

She will try, while we can only sigh
She will pray, in a world that's gone astray
She will try to reduce the madness
She will pray for the strength to try
She's a white dove spreading gladness
From the sky

She can see what she'd like us all to see

She can see
She can see
Why can't we
See?

Kind words, my son!
Mother? You here?
But HE'S the one who sees, you know?
And then He just points me and pushes me in the right direction
