Lyrics:
See all the faces
See all the tears
See all the waste of
So many years
You, all ya gotta do is open your eyes

Her tiny fingers
Stretched toward your hand
Her stare into your soul
Is really a question
She asks, do you care?

Chorus:
Do you see the little ones?
They cry at night,
They walk in fright
Do you see the ones that need you so?
They are like you and me
They need a family

I plead with you here and now
To consider reality
When there's a recession
Your meal count is still three
While he, goes to bed starving

It's so easy to turn aside
And become number
But the truth is hard to hide
With faces over numbers
Their eyes peer past oceans

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I don't want to live my life
In hibernation
I wanna know my heart beat
With a greater explanation

Repeat chorus

I wanna know my heart beat
With a greater explanation

[most of the] Chords:
Verse: Emaj7, E6, Emaj7, E6, A, B9, B7b9 Emaj7, E6, Emaj7, E6, A, B7, A, B9 [repeat]

C#m7, C#m9, C#m9, F9, F9add13, F9, A,B9, B7b9
Bridge: Emaj7, E6, Emaj7, E6, A, Amaj7, A, Amaj7
Chord right before last chorus: A6

  • This is a sad song, but it's my favorite song of all your originals! I bought this on iTunes and I also got "Don't Go" and I am definitly happy with it! My top 2 favorite music artists are Michael Bublé and you!

  • @MrViolinGuitar100 Wow man, that means a lot. For real, thank you bud. Keep up the guitar man; I see you as a passionate and hardworking individual, and with those qualities, you can go far!
