I saw you

I saw you before you came into this world

I saw you the first time you cried

I saw you when you were so tiny and helpless

I've held you since you were a little child

I see you in times when you do not see me

I'm right here and holding your hand

I see you when you are alone in the shadows

I see you when hope blows away like sand

I saw you in times of laughter and dance

I know all the things that brought hurt and pain

I saw you when you gave up trusting in me

I heard you when you cried: It's all in vain

I see every tear you let out from your eyes

I see all the ones that you bind

And even though you say you can not hear me

I'm whispering words to comfort your mind

Open your eyes, see that I'm right beside you

Open your heart now, and feel that I'm near

Open up now for the words that I give you

I'll never leave you, I'll always be here
