    I See Me In You…

    I was walking through the park the other day, and ran into a man who was clearly homeless.  In Seattle, in the Summer time, that’s a pretty common thing, as everywhere these days I guess.  But I felt some strangely powerful connection to him in that moment.  Then I realized I the only real difference between the two of us was the last $30 I had in my pocket,  and my amazing friends…

    I’m about thirty dollars away from       
    You and I don’t care
    We got the same scragly beard
    We both got too much hair.
    And I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart
    For those who can make a home right where they are

    I see me in you
    I see me in you
    I see me and you

    I’m slowly getting rid of everything I own
    For the last two weeks I haven’t had a home
    This world is so cruel I can’t seem to take a part
    Every time I try I lose  more of my heart

    I see me in you
    I see me in you
    I see me and you

    I’m about thirty feet away from you I can’t help but stare
    The whole world just walks on by and no one cares.
    And that sift spot in my heart is getting hard
    I know it’s sad. but it’s just the way things are

    I see me in you
    I see me in you
    I see me and you
