What I see is not what you see
What you don’t see is what I see
What I don’t see you may not see
And in this sea of seeing we see
All that we ever want to see
Never seeing what we’d never see!
To see or not to see, you see
Has the secret of what we see
Or even all that we must see
Or what we really need not see
And to see what we could not see
Or not to see what we could see
Are facts not all can really see.
But see we must and so we see
Eyes and senses to help us see
The past too chips in as we see
In lies some truth we sometimes see
In truth some lies we also see
At times we see through as we see
Or blindly walk though we can see
Both art and science in seeing, you see.
Sometimes we see more than we see
Sometimes there’s more in less we see
We know because we know we see
We see because we know we see
We see because we see, you see
We see when we have learned to see
Sometimes we see what others see
To ask we need to see, you see
For answers we must care to see
We fall sometimes though we can see
And walk on because we see
Even when dark we still can see
Sometimes in light we do not see –
We choose to see or not to see.
To see more than you think you see
To think you see more than you see
Are smaller parts of what we see
We be to see and see to be…
To see is more than we can see
We see to see all we must see!
