He Saw Me - Acoustic
Stoke the fire now
Reach for that light
It burns in every one of us
I remember clear as day
Him sittin' down next me
Grandpa spoke slowly
As I listened carefully
He said lookin' at you now
Is like lookin' back in the mirror at me
While I was fighting for our freedom
Back in 1943
He said Son
You were born write
Seems that Son you've lost passion
That firefight in your eye
When all I saw was darkness
Stumbling down that bitter road
He lit that better half of me
And He let me know
How he saw me
Hey saw me like a Lion
Who could be calm as a flowing stream
He saw me doing better things
Then I could never dream
He pushed me to fit into the moon
And watched me ride the light
He saw me how I couldn't see myself
Man, He saw me right
He saw me
He saw me
He saw me killing myself with all the pain
He saw me running and running driving myself insane
He saw me almost die on that afternoon
He saw me try to fly but I was so self consumed
He saw me living that way as I was giving up
On myself mine as well wreck it all I'm not enough
But then the time came to reveal the change
He saw me let go of the past before I threw it all away
And with his words that day outspoken truth upon his lips
He told me that one thing that to this day I cannot forget.
HOW HE SAW ME
Sometimes it just takes one
To believe in another man's dreams
Sometimes all that you reckon for
Is a life that you can not see
And in those moments thoughts racing
Feeling sorry for yourself
If you would just rise up again
Hell, you'd be somebody else.
Please trust me,
Pick your chin up my dear friend.
Please trust me
I have been where you have been.
Please trust me
Quitting times not now it's time for racing we are digging in
Please trust me
I have seen the fight in the eyes of this young man
The eyes of this young man.
As I stand here on this stage looking back at my life
I realize I listened grandpa and you did me right
Thank you for your service Sir
Thank you for loving me
Now underneath these spotlights
Is the man that he could see.
He saw me
He saw me
He saw me pushing that plow down the new road I'd create
Working and working
Who stops when lights out not me
Smiling again, start to believe
That, the life I'd left behind was not the one meant for me
Stronger got longer as I forgot the past
And the lies that I would tell myself now they wont last
So now I stand here before you
A grown new man you see
And I thank God for my dear grandpa for believing in me
Now heaven no longer sees a man self-consumed
But a courageous man, walking his own path
Howling at the moon.
He saw me
He saw me
He saw me, he saw me, he saw me
He saw me
Sometimes it just takes one
To believe in another man's dream
Reach for that light
It burns in every one of us
I remember clear as day
Him sittin' down next me
Grandpa spoke slowly
As I listened carefully
