One Person

 

One Person

 

You really aren’t seeing me clearly,

Are you?

You really don’t know who I am.

You really aren’t all that concerned,

Are you?

You’re looking right through where I stand.

 

You really aren’t listening to me,

Are you?

You apply what I say to yourself.

You really won’t stretch a hand to me,

Will you?

You say “God will help you help yourself.”

 

And it’s lonely out here in the middle of the world,

8 billion souls that don’t see.

And it’s cold out here while the world is on fire,

Can I get just one person with me?

 

I’m really not seeing you clearly,

Am I?

Can it be that there’s too much to see?

I'm really not hearing you nearly,

Am I? 

All I am hearing,

Is a world that is screaming,

Is the whole world screaming at me?

 

And it’s lonely out here in the middle of the world,

8 billion souls that don’t see.

And it’s cold out here while the world is on fire,

Can I get just one person with me?

Can I get just one person that sees?

Is there any one person with me?

Can I get just one person to see?
