Van Halen — Learning to See

Time after time we Walk past the window And never see the ashes on the ground Night after night Watching the sky move Never feel the earth spinning 'round I didn't see you fallin' I couldn't hear you callin' Born with eyes wide open, never learn to see I never meant to hurt you Was right there cryin' with you Why do we harm the only thing we want to be Trying to follow Every footstep I feel so lost along the way Reading the scripture Straight from the gospel Never understanding what they say, yeah I didn't see you fallin' I never heard you callin' I got my eyes wide open, but haven't learned to see, yeah I never meant to hurt you Was right there crying with you Why do we harm the only thing we want to be I just gotta be Me I just gotta be Me Yeah I didn't see you fallin' I never heard you callin' Got my eyes wide open, never learned to see, yeah I never meant to hurt you Was right there cryin' with you We only cage the very thing we want to free I just wanna be I just wanna be Gotta gotta be I just wanna be I gotta be I wanna be Gotta gotta Gotta gotta be me I just wanna be I wanna be Oh, yeah Oh, yeah
