When You Look at Me (Shane's Song)

When you look at me
Don't just see what your eyes see
A body that won't listen to my will
If you'd just look inside
Very soon you'd realize
There's a fire that these struggles
Can not kill

See my heart, see my spirit
See the light that shines in me
See the love I could offer
And the friend that I would be
All I ask when you're looking
Please don't only see
What it is that your eyes alone see

And when you talk with me
Know the words that I can't say
They're in me, but they're locked so deep inside
It's not that I don't know
And it is not that I don't care
And you would know that if you'd look me in the eyes

Hear my heart, hear my spirit
Hear the voice that hides in me
Hear the love I could offer
And the friend that I would be
All I ask when you're with me, please don't only hear
Just those words that might fall upon your ears.

The way we travel's different
But this road we're on is the same
If you'll journey with me a while
You'll be glad you came
'Cause there are gifts we both can offer
And there are lessons we can share
But you are never going to know that
If you don't meet me halfway there

So spend some time with me
And get to know just who I am
Know my laugh, know my smile, know my soul
I can listen if you need
If you have secrets I will keep them
Or simply sit and be a hand to hold

Know my heart, know my spirit
Know the light that shines in me
Know the love I will offer
And the Friend that I will be
All I ask when you're with me
Open up your heart and see
All those things that make up the whole of me
And don't only see what it is
Your eyes see
There's more to me
When you look at me
When you look at me
