Look at the way you're looking at me.
You add up the parts, think you know what you see.
You see bed 39, a shell of a man, but you surely don't see who I am.
Chorus:
I wish you'd see me. Really see me.
If you take the time, there's more that you'd find, you'd see me.
I'm a father of three, taught school all my life. For 51 years, I took care of my wife.
Fought in the great war, brave soldier strong man, but still you don't see who I am.
Chorus
You see an ancient old codger who can't take a bite or a step by himself.
But look at my trophies, my medals and photos, my history's right there on the shelf.
Just ask me a question, you might be surprised.
There's wisdom and humor behind these old eyes.
If patience and kindness are part of our plan, then I could show you who I am.
And then you'll see me. Really see me.
When you take the time, there's more that you'll find, you'll see me.
