You’re Seen, You’re Known

1 You see her walk to work every morning Head held heavy by an unseen

weight Smile tucked away like a secret Eyes always scanning, always awake

You wanna say hi, but you hesitate ‘Cause you recognize that shadow

she’s in It looks a lot like one you’ve known When the light

feels borrowed, worn thin Verse 2 You’ve seen how some folks feed on

others Steal the fire from deep inside Till there’s nothing left but surviving

Just getting through another night You hear ‘em say, “Who would live

like that?” Or, “I’d never let it go that far”
