Sophie Hunger Can You See Me? song lyrics

I will never be born to the voice of a black lady

I will never be strong like a man in a trench

But they are, they are, they are the ones who saved me

From the fire and the cold and the stench

I will never be tall like the walls in a mountain

I will never see all like the stars in the sky

So is it true, is it true, is it true we are turning

And when you are turning so am I

Tell me when you see me

Can you see yourself

Tell me when you see me

Can you see yourself

Tell me when you see me

Can you see yourself

How much do we share

How much do I really care

I can wave my hand like a girl in a whorehouse

I can blush at a smile like a king in disguise

But I, I will never have to live by

The mercy of strangers, the mercy of ties

I will never know how they will talk of my ages

I will never be sure that I committed no crime

Is it true, is it true that we are turning

And when you are turning so am I

So tell me when you see me

Can you see yourself

Tell me when you see me

Can you see yourself

Tell me when you see me

Can you see yourself

How much do I really care
