Oh Say Can You See

You're just 11 and it ain't fair

They laugh about your clothes

And your dreams going nowhere

Those Coppell mean girls like to talk

You used to sit with the cool kids

But now they're calling you stupid

While you're eating all alone in a bathroom stall

Oh darling, right now it's hard to understand that

This moment right here is gonna write your anthem

Oh, say can you see it don't matter what they think

And sometimes walking through the dark

Is the only way out

Hey younger me, you'll get back off your knees

And up on a stage one day singing to the crowd

Oh, say can you see me now, me now

Hold on to your microphone hairbrush

Even when the weight of the doubt feels too much

It's hard for you to believe what I believe

Oh-oh-oh

But I promise I'ma show you

They'll go from pretending they don't even know you

To singing every word to your songs in the nosebleeds, yeah

Oh, say can you see it, don't matter what they think

And sometimes walking through the dark

Is the only way out

Hey younger me, you'll get back off your knees

And up on a stage one day singing to the crowd

Oh, say can you see me now

It's kinda shaky in those shoes where you're standing

Just keep on dancing to the beat of your own anthem

Oh, say can you see it don't matter what they think

And sometimes walking through the dark

Is the only way out

Hey younger me, you'll get back off your knees

And up on a stage one day singing to the crowd

Oh, say can you see (can you see, can you see me?)

Oh, say can you see (can you see, can you see me?)

Oh, say can you see me now (can you see, can you see me now)

Can you see, can you see me now?

Can you see me, can you see me now?

Can you see me now?
