Van Halen - Learning to See lyrics

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
