Different Point of View - Song I Wrote for My Daughter

Here is a song I wrote to my daughter. Different Point of View. I am including the lyrics below. I hope you enjoy. It’s those moments that you can’t see Memories of yesterday, where I can’t be The world keeps on spinning while I’m standing still They say it will get easier, but I don’t think it will   Holding you back is what I did With mixed emotion of trauma growing up as a kid Left to follow you when it wasn’t right Seemed to be the only version of tears you felt at night   Your eyes became curtains of things you feel Covered in a heartache that severs you still How do I get back what we’ve both lost When you’re always the one that’s seems to keep paying the cost    If you could see me now, what would you see Would it be a reflection of who you really need Would I make you proud, like I used to do Would you look at me now with a different point of view   I’ve picked myself up and I get stronger everyday But that’s not the version of me you saw yesterday Now I’m standing tall and looking ahead Wishing I could change all the memories you’ve ever shed   Time was against all the pain I couldn’t heal Ticking through the moment now space to find and steal Pushing through the darkness trying to light my way Leaving you behind in a world that you have today   How do you look in a reflection that hurts you so Too many emotions, like age they grow I can’t give you now, what is lost I can only pray your vision of me it won’t cost   If you could see me now, what would you see Would it be a reflection of who you really need Would I make you proud like I used to do Would you look at me now with a different point of view   I’ve made my mistakes, and I almost died I’m sorry for all the emptiness that you’ve ever felt inside Finding myself in a world I now want to stay From the different me you remember from yesterday Healing from a life you used to see Is my bridge of hope leading you back to me Now in front of you here I stand With nothing to offer but my hand If only step by step and breath by breath is what we do Maybe then you’ll get the chance to see a different point of view   If you could see me now, what would you see Would it be a reflection, of who you really need Would I make you proud like I used to do Would you look at me now, with a different point of view   If you could see me now, what would you see Would it be a reflection, of who you really need Would I make you proud like I used to do Would you look at me now, with a different point of view   If you could see me now, what would you see Would it be a reflection, of who you really need Would I make you proud like I used to do Would you look at me now   Would you look at me now Please look at me now  Will you look at me now  With a different point of view
