LOOK: WHAT I SEE IS WHAT YOU GET {SOMEONE ENTERS WITH A BUCKET OF PAINT AND A BRUSH AND PAINTS THE SKETCH BLACK.) WHY? BECAUSE BECAUSE WHY? BECAUSE 1 HATE WHY? DO 1 NEED A REASON? YES WHAT’S YOURS? 1 DON’T NEED A REASON I HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING I SHOULD HELP BUT WHAT CAN 1 DO? CAN YOU SEE? YES CAN YOU HEAR? OF COURSE CAN YOU TASTE. SMELL? YES I CAN YOU TOUCH? OF COURSEI ANSWER YOUR OWN QUESTION. TO SEE IS NOT TO LOOK TO SAY IS NOT TO SPEAK TO FEEL IS NOT TO TOUCH A SMILE CAN ... NOT MEAN MUCH OH WHAT IS OBVIOUS, AIN’T NECESSARILY SO CAN YOU HEAR ME. CAN YOU FEEL WHAT I’M SAYING? TO LAUGH AIN’T ALWAYS GLADNESS TO CRY AIN’T ALWAYS SADNESS A GIFT OF LOVE AIN’T A TOKEN YOU BUY AT THE STORE BUT THE GIFT YOU GIVE OF THE HEART TO SEE IS NOT TO LOOK TO SAY IS NOT TO SPEAK TO FELL IS NOT TO TOUCH

A SMILE CAN... NOT MEAN MUCH OH WHAT IS OBVIOUS AIN’T NECESSARILY SO CAN YOU HEAR ME. CAN YOU FEEL WHAT I’M SAYING: CAN YOU HEAR ME. CAN YOU FEEL WHAT I’M SAYING; CAN YOU HEAR ME, CAN YOU FEEL WHAT I’M SAYING? SEE YA LATER IT'S LATER IT MAY BE TOO LATE (I CAN SEE FOR MILES AND MILES AND MILES AND MILES AND MILES) I WANT TO SEE ALL THE THINGS I MISSED I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WAS AROUND THOSE CORNERS I NEVER TURNED TALK ABOUT GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES I BET I HAD DOZENS I COULD HAVE HAD QUITE A LIFE I ALMOST DID EXCEPT EXCEPT I DON’T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HERE AM I AND 1 WONDER WHY I DON’T TRY TO BE WHAT I AM INSTEAD OF THE THINGS YOU WANT ME TO BE IT’S SO HARD TO BE ME HERE STAND I AS I’VE STOOD SO LONG WITH MY EYES SHUT TIGHT AND MY BRAIN SHOPWORN IT’S THE WAY YOU WANT ME TO BE IT’S SO HARD TO BE FREE. IT’S SO HARD TO BE FREE.
