What do I see?
What do I see you asked today
Well the sky is blue and a little grey
Just like your eyes which you don't know
As you figure out which way to go
I see children staring deep into puddles
Making mud pies and getting in a guddle
With weary parents looking on
Wondering where last night's sleep has gone
But oh most of all
I see you Daddy
I see you
Oh most of all
I see you
What do I see
You asked yesterday
Well the world was busy in a different way
People marched in lines
Cranking their spines
Staring at the ground
Making no sound
But the trees stood still in Beveridge Park
Dancing in the wind
Their layers of bark
All golden hues in the Autumn breeze
A door to heaven
Just give me those keys
Oh most of all
I see you Daddy
I see you
Oh most of all
I see you
What do I see
You're asking me now
Well I'm looking at you and your big old brow
All I know is I'm so proud of who you are
In that cloud of darkness
Which is all you know
Your eyes don't work
But you had to work each day
Each step at a time
A bumpy road at the back of the line
Now here you are
Five foot ten
Still standing tall
On that horse again cos
When it throws you like life does too
You get back on that horse
That's what you do
Oh I see you Daddy
I see you
Oh most of all
I see you
Oh Daddy let me say
If you could see me standing here today
Oh what would you say
I ask myself too
And hope that you would be so proud of me
Of who I am
What I do
And how I hold myself high
Speak no lies
And you would see that in your eyes
But oh I see you
I see you
Oh most of all
I see you Daddy
I see you
Oh most of all
I see you
Well the sky is blue and a little grey
Just like your eyes which you don't know
As you figure out which way to go
I see children staring deep into puddles
Making mud pies and getting in a guddle
With weary parents looking on
Wondering where last night's sleep has gone
But oh most of all
I see you Daddy
I see you
Oh most of all
I see you
What do I see
You asked yesterday
Well the world was busy in a different way
People marched in lines
Cranking their spines
Staring at the ground
Making no sound
But the trees stood still in Beveridge Park
Dancing in the wind
Their layers of bark
All golden hues in the Autumn breeze
A door to heaven
Just give me those keys
Oh most of all
I see you Daddy
I see you
Oh most of all
I see you
What do I see
You're asking me now
Well I'm looking at you and your big old brow
All I know is I'm so proud of who you are
In that cloud of darkness

And you would see that in your eyes
But oh I see you
I see you
Oh most of all
I see you Daddy
I see you
Oh most of all
I see you
