Notes

SEE ME
See me, I’m not my brother or my sister
See me, I’m not my mother or my father
There’s more to me than you see
I have hopes, I have dreams, I have vision
Just like any other person in this whole wide world
I want the chance to be, but you must see me

See me, I am beautiful and smart
See me, I’m a living work of art
There’s more to me than you see
I have hopes, I have dreams, I have vision
Just like any other person in this whole wide world
I want the chance to be, but you must see me

Refrain: Can’t you see beneath the color of my skin
To see that I am just like you
Can’t you hear beyond the words that I say
To hear that I have dreams too
Until we see beneath, Hear beyond
Face the truth, That I’m just like you
We can’t come together Until you see me

See me, I’ve got the answers to your problems
See me, if you allow me we can solve them
There’s more to me than you see
I have hopes, I have dreams, I have vision
Just like any other person in this whole wide world
I want the chance to be, but you must see me. Refrain:
