-Just Watch Me DANCE-

Have you ever watched someone fall asleep

And you looked in the passenger seat

And suddenly they were at peace?

Have you ever listened to someone breathe

As they drink in your hair, profile, the city?

Have you ever heard the praise of a crazed

Lover?

Have you ever watched someone grow

Into the person they're meant to be?

Have you ever set a child's toys

Have you ever seen a waterfall

That begged to be captured in a lens?

Have you ever seen the sadness in someone's eyes

So deep that no one has noticed?

Have you ever held someone's hand

And cried because they fit so perfectly?

Have you ever screamed in your car

As you mourned the loss of another century?

I have.

I have seen, and there is a difference

Between seeing your life run by

And catching it in your hands.

A difference between letting it slip past you

And letting it flow through you.

A difference between standing on the sidelines reaching in

And running to the field with arms outstretched.

I saw a book along the side of the road

And I stopped a moment to read it.

There is a difference between watching your life

And living it.
