Julie, she was waiting for something
To make her see the little precious things in life
She wanted to be loved
‘Cause she never knew love
She just wanted to be seen
By the people who didn’t notice her
Feel so left alone
Her parents they hated her
Ran away from her parents house
Because she was sick and tired of the fighting
Now she lives on the street
And sleeps under bridges
She just wanted to be seen
By the people on the street
She’s tired of living
No longer wants to sleep in the cold
In the daytime she sits on the corner
With her guitar in her hand
And plays for the people who are passing by
Sometimes they give her some money
She just wanted to be seen
By the people who are passing her by on the street
Notice her music
And notice her silent cry
She keeps on playing
Until her fingers begin to hurt and bleed
She packs her bag and guitar
And go to a place where she can eat
She just wanted to be seen
By the people who are passing her by on the street
She wants to live a normal life
No more living on the street
When she walks into a café
And ask for some leftovers
People look at her like she’s dirt
And that’s making her heart hurt
She just wanted to be seen
But not with those looks like she is some kind of dirt
It’s not her mistake
And it’s making her heart ache
She walks away with the leftovers
And goes to the park
Where she starts her meal
Then this man walks by
She just wanted to be seen
By the people who are passing her by every time
She feels so alone
Nobody wants to talk to her
He’s looking so friendly
He turns around and walks toward her
Ask her if he can sit next to her
Well she don’t mind
She just wanted to be seen
And this person did see her tired face
She could smile again
For the first time in years
She’s eating and offers him something too
She has so less but it doesn’t matter
They talk and talk, going for a walk
Feeding the ducks
She just wanted to be seen
She will share everything she has
Doesn’t matter for her that she ain’t got much
She’s just looking for some human touch
The night begin to fall
Stars are shining bright
She won’t let him go
Never felt like this before
Today someone saw her
And made her feel good
Please give some attention not to the ones who’re asking aloud
But to the ones who’re asking in silence
She just wanted to be seen (Open your eyes)
By the people who are passing her on the street (See the person at the corner)
Feel so left alone (Give some attention)
With no one to talk to (To make them feel alive) |
