What I See Is Someone
Just a rack of ribs
In my cart with the toilet paper
Then I saw the footage
Bars, cuts, and ruthless slaughter
Met them myself
I learned their peaceful natures
I cannot stop
Seeing their cautious faces
Our children's empathy
So naturally extends
We teach them sympathy
Then how to hold those knives
But Old MacDonald's gone
The storybooks are lying
Can we let them see
What they see naturally?
'Cause you can sympathize with farmers and butchers
Packers, preparers and slaughterhouse workers
But if you won't look through the animals' eyes
You can through mine
'Cause what I see (what I see)
Is someone
Who longed (who longed)
For comfort
Who yearned and sought for
A place to call her home (place to call her home)
And what I see (what I see)
Is someone
Who grieved (who grieved)
For her own
Who mourned and fought for
Her missing little one (bring me back my little one)
When you sit down with me please
See who I see
I know this seems so tiny if you don't champion it
I'd rather forget all these things too but that wouldn't solve any of it
And we could save so many if we would all just focus on it
And take action for it
And what we'll see (what I see)
Is someone
Who longed (who longed)
For comfort
Who yearned and sought for
A place to call her home (place to call her home)
And what we'll see (what I see)
Is someone
Who grieved (who grieved)
For her own
Who mourned and fought for
Her missing little one (bring me back my little one)
When you sit down with us please
See who we see
In my cart with the toilet paper
Then I saw the footage
Bars, cuts, and ruthless slaughter
Met them myself
I learned their peaceful natures
I cannot stop
Seeing their cautious faces
Our children's empathy
So naturally extends
We teach them sympathy
Then how to hold those knives
But Old MacDonald's gone
The storybooks are lying
Can we let them see
What they see naturally?
'Cause you can sympathize with farmers and butchers
Packers, preparers and slaughterhouse workers
But if you won't look through the animals' eyes
You can through mine
'Cause what I see (what I see)
Is someone
Who longed (who longed)
For comfort
Who yearned and sought for
A place to call her home (place to call her home)
And what I see (what I see)
Is someone
Who grieved (who grieved)

Her missing little one (bring me back my little one)
When you sit down with me please

Her missing little one (bring me back my little one)
When you sit down with us please
See who we see
