Lyrics

I don’t know you I only know your name But when you look into my eyes I feel your pain I can’t imagine the life you live But is it for me to think What I think Is it for me to be looking Behind the veil It wasn’t long ago when you said More things like I do It wasn’t long ago when you did More things that you wanted to I can’t imagine the life you live But is it for me to think What I think Is it for me to be looking Behind the veil I can see your longing to be Somewhere in a different place Anywhere It’s hidden in your face Everywhere I see you yearn You say you want to learn You’ve got a plan, you feel hope You see a future Far away in another land Your mother’s another generation She’s lived a different life She believes You’re the family abberation She doesn’t understand your fight I don’t know you But I feel we’re just the same And when I look Into your hurting eyes I feel my shame I can’t imagine the life you live But is it for me to think What I think Is it for me to be looking Behind the veil I can see how confusing it would be You want justification Why the changes Behind the veil, all the limitations You said it all By the way you let it fall Slipping off your face, your disgrace Down your back, a punishable act Your sister would feel naked She’d be lost to be free You’d be foresaken If you act out independently I don’t know you But I see you in the flame And when I look into Your burning eyes I need someone to blame I can’t imagine the life you live But is it for me to think What I think Is it for me to be looking Behind the veil To be looking behind the veil Looking behind the veil Behind the veil
