Can You See Me?

I will never be born to the
Voice of a black lady
I will never be strong like a man in a trench
But they are, they are
They are the ones who saved me
From the fire and the cold and the stench

I will never be tall like
The walls in a mountain
I will never see all like
The stars in the sky
So is it true, is it true
Is it true we are turning
And when you are turning so am I

Tell me when you see me can you see yourself
Tell me when you see me can you see yourself
Tell me when you see me can you see yourself

How much do we share
How much do I really care

I can wave my hand like
A girl in a whorehouse
I can blush at a smile
Like a king in disguise
But I, I will never have to live by
The mercy of strangers, the mercy of ties

I will never know how they
Will talk of my ages
I will never be sure that
I committed no crime
Is it true, is it true that we are turning
And when you are turning so am I

So tell me when you see me
Can you see yourself tell me when you see me
Can you see yourself tell me when you see me
Can you see yourself

How much do I really care
