all that we are

your eyes are partially open, 

I know you look at me 

what is it I can offer, 

something that you need? 

everyone is looking, 

blindly they can't see 

but I am seeing into you,

and you see into me 

in your darkest hour, 

will you reach for me? 

do you feel me next to you, 

when everything seems gray? 

when the night grows long, 

do you think of me? 

do you see me in the sunset 

and at the break of day? 

is there any room

--room for me there inside? 

I think I saw a glimpse once, 

a glimpse inside your heart 

will it ever come, 

that once upon a time? 

where the shadows fall

--I can see all that we are
