Just a Person [Verse 1] I see you as a person first not your uniform or role not the service that you offer but the life that makes you whole [Pre-Chorus] the delivery driver has dreams the gardener has plans the barista, the tradie, the exec all people with full lives in hand [Chorus] you're not your job title not your paycheck or your name behind the role you're playing there's a person all the same I see you, person first [Verse 2] I talk to you the same way no matter what you do not because I'm trying but because that's what I see in you [Pre-Chorus] same questions in your eyes same weight you carry home the frame might look different but the person's always known [Chorus] you're not your job title not your paycheck or your name behind the role you're playing there's a person all the same I see you, person first [Instrumental Break - 8 bars] [Verse 3] I know this stance is easier when I'm not navigating threat some people can't afford to see person first and that's not their fault, I get it [Bridge - Extended] my safety lets me see you clearly without assessing power dynamics first that's a luxury not everyone has and I'm learning what that's worth person first is my default but I see now it's a gift some people have to calculate safety before they get to see what I see with [Final Chorus] you're not your job title not your paycheck or your name behind the role you're playing there's a person all the same I see you, person first and I know that's a gift [Outro - Extended] person first I see you person first that's the truth person first and I'm learning what that costs for some to do
