you may see Lyrics

Don't you know that you're one of a kind

Right now you're ill at ease

With your body and your mind

So much of your life lies in wait

And we can't know how time may change

The way we feel things may not look the same

A year from now you may see these circumstances

In a very different way

Stuck in this hopelessness all of the time

It seems you're lost to me and I don't know if I'll find

The one I once for knew for you're changing your mind

Would that we were warned love can bring us such pain

If we were, would we do it all again?

Promised so much by media, technology

We all want to think that we're free

There's so many voices we're drowning in choices

We may not grasp just what we have to lose

And not understand what we're so keen to choose

Hope that if we can find our true identity

Surely our happiness is guaranteed

I admit that I'm gripped by fear

All I can do is stand by while someone I hold dear

Is grappling with choices they don't seem to understand

Me unable to lend a hand

I don't know what to do

I still feel responsible though I know

You're not the child I once knew

I feel stuck in this hopelessness all of the time

It seems you're lost to me and I don't know if I'll find

The one I once knew you're changing your mind

With every day passing it seems you're inclined

To choices that maybe you cannot unwind

There's fools who would have us believe love is blind

But I see too clearly your struggle's a sign of the times

Just one tiny part of these strange changing times

Your struggle's a sign of the times

Just one small part but it's breaking my heart

One sign of the times
