I see you Dear thousands of miles away Throwing out a laugh to clear the static of the day You hide your shaking hands beneath a clever little phrase A master of disguise in a sharp and brilliant maze But I know that wit is just a shield you have to wear To keep the shadows back and pretend you aren't scared You tell me you're okay you say it with a grin But I can see the battle that you're fighting deep within You think you have to be the one who never breaks apart I can see the fragile pieces of your heart Oh, looking straight into my eyes Defeating every worry with a brilliant fierce surprise You are braver than the morning smarter than the storm Keeping all your colors bright when everything is worn You don’t have to mask a thing when you are looking back at me I see the strength, I see the fear and both are beautiful to see You’ve got a restless mind that never really takes a break Calculating every little step you have to make In a city under pressure you’re the one who keeps the light An intelligent, defiant spark against a heavy night You find a way to pivot find a way to make me smile When you’re the one who needs to rest and just sit still a while And if the sirens start to wail or skies turn turning gray I’ll stay right on this line with you and talk the dread away Because your perseverance isn’t just a word you claim It’s written in the quiet way you refuse to play their game No grand performances tonight No spotlight on your face Just you, in the ordinary... And me, dumbstruck by your grace Stay safe,Dear I'm right here Santi Flores
