Story Behind The Song

Sometimes we live by watching others - see through the eyes of others and feel through their experiences. In this simple act we become one with strangers, and we are reminded that we have all loved, feared, wanted, and ultimately come from the same place.

Song Description

This song is simple in it's instrumentation & rich in it's message. Accoustic guitar is paired up with vocals that are delivered with sincerity & open hearts. It reminds us that whatever we've seen, wherever we've come from doesn't really matter, because we've all shared experiences & emotions. Homeless, soldiers, mothers - we all make mistakes, we all work on ourselves, we all internally wish for peace amongst our fellowship.

Lyrics

I?ve seen Christmas come, felt the love for everyone
I?ve forgiven others & myself
I?ve seen them lost & found & I?ve seen them fall back down
& I?ve seen them stand up once again

I?ve seen the worst there is, then I?ve seen worse than I?ve seen
yet I?ve managed somehow to get by
I?ve lost faith once or twice, lost the way to paradise
then I?ve managed somehow to believe
I?ve seen the soldier fall, read his name up on the wall
Entered doors which led right back to me

And so and so, did you know
we?ve seen the same things, you & I
And so and so, did you know
we?re from the same place, you & I

I?ve been cold & I?ve been beat, watched the homeless on the street
Felt as though I?ve lived a thousand lives
I?ve stood up for someone else & I?ve learned how to love myself
I?ve clung to the moment many times
I?ve been good & I?ve been bad, appreciated all I had
Then tossed it carelessly right from my hand

And so & so, did you know, We?ve loved the same things you & I
And so & so, did you know, We?ve feared the same things you & I
We?ve wanted the same things you & I
We're from the same place you & I

And so & so, did you know
And she can take you through the dark
