Lyrics

IN THE SHADOW OF THE EMPTY STAGE
WAITING FOR HIS CURTAIN CALL
HE?S LOOKING AT THE FACES IN THE CROWD
WHAT WAS IT THAT BROUGHT THEM ALL
HERE TONIGHT? HE?LL SING HIS SONG
SHARING HIS HEART
AS THEY SING ALONG

WHAT DO THEY SEE?
HE WONDERS AS HE FEELS THEIR ENERGY
CAN THEY SEE
BEYOND THE FLAWS AND WEAKNESSES IN ME?
COULD IT BE
THAT THEY CAN SEE ANOTHER SIDE OF ME?
THERE MUST BE
MORE TO ME THAN WHAT I SEE

IN THE AUDIENCE A WOMAN SMILES
THE SONG IS TAKING HER AWAY
BUT THEN SHE THINKS ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
IF SHE WOULD HAVE LIVED A BETTER WAY
STILL SHE CARRIES ON
EVEN THOUGH
SHE BELIEVES HER CHANCE IS GONE

BUT WHAT SHE SEES
IS NOT THE SAME AS WHAT HER FATHER SEES
ONLY HE REALLY KNOWS HER
AND HOW GREAT SHE STILL CAN BE
IF SHE COULD SEE
THAT HE WANTS HER TO BE WITH HIM ETERNALLY
THEN SHE?D BELIEVE
THAT THERE?S MORE TO HER THAN WHAT SHE SEES

WHAT WE SEE
IS NOT THE SAME AS WHAT OUR FATHER SEES
ONLY HE REALLY KNOWS US
AND HOW GREAT WE ALL CAN BE
DON?T GIVE UP
HE WANTS US ALL TO BE WITH HIM ETERNALLY
JUST BELIEVE
THAT THERE?S SO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT YOU SEE
