Not What You See Lyrics

(Oliva/O'Neill/Caffery)

When you look at the morning sun

Do you see what I see

Or could I be the only one

Seeing just what I need

I envision a different man

Than the one I've become

Pray the ocean will understand

That my time isn't done

Everyone's leading

But nobody's dancing

You stand on the stage

Just to turn all alone

I have waited this way

For a lifetime of days

I can't wait for the morning sun

As I stand with the sea

And the ocean she understands

Just the man I could be

Somewhere else there's a different world

With a sun that will rise

And a moon that will take its place

In another man's eyes

And perhaps it's a better world

Than the one that I see

Or if better for no one else

Perhaps better for me

Here in the dark where the sky shows its graces

Revealing each star while the moon plays the fool

Saying how it must be while the night disagrees

I can't wait for the morning sun

As I stand with the sea

And the ocean she understands

Just the man I could be

No, no, time doesn't wait for you

No, no, leave it alone

No, no, your days are far too few

This thing I have always known

When your time is up it's true

They never give another day to you

When your time is up it's through

No one cares how

Can't keep it

Can't save it

Can't take it away with you

So I say we use it now
