when you Look at the son
Is it the same in everyone
look at my son
he’s not the same to anyone
you are not a scarlet tanager
you’re a dying leaf on a tree
and though you’re not a scarlet tanager
you’re still beautiful to me
Look at that dying leaf on the tree
Tell me what you see and not perceive
is it a dying leaf on a tree
What do you perceive
It is not a scarlet tanager
It’s a dying leaf on a tree
though it’s not a scarlet tanager
It’s still lovely to me
Take my eyes
take my eyes what do you see
What do I perceive
Through my eyes what do you see
Though you are not a scarlet tanager
you’re a dying leaf on a tree
Though you’re not a scarlet tanager
you’re still beautiful to me
