| “ | Madison is my baby sister. When I woke up in the hospital after my overdose, I was legally blind and couldn’t see. So when she came to my bedside I actually asked her, ‘Who is standing there? Who are you?’ It was a really emotional moment for everyone who was there. I was able to take that situation, write a beautiful song out of it, and also be able to express to my little sister how much she means to me and how clearly I do see her on a daily basis. | ” |

Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I didn't want those innocent eyes
To watch me fall from grace
Tried to protect you, I want to direct you
To keep you from my mistakes, yeah
I wanna be the one
You look up to when you wanna run
I want you to see my face
Whenever you're feeling out of place
You can pick up the phone
If you're ever feeling scared and alone
I'll be the one to
[Chorus]
Tuck your hair behind your ear
Until you fall asleep
I'll say a prayer and keep you near
You're always here with me
I promise, I'll be there, don't worry
'Cause I was blind, but now I see clearly
I see you
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I can see myself in the little things you do
But I'm not afraid that you'll lose your way
'Cause I believe in you, yeah
You're gonna be the one
Who show me enough love can overcome
Anything in your way
I look to you and you give me strength
Always my baby-girl, already know you gon' change the world
And I will still be there to
[Chorus]
Tuck your hair behind your ear
Until you fall asleep
I'll say a prayer and keep you near
You're always here with me
I promise, I'll be there, don't worry
'Cause I was blind, but now I see clearly
I see you
[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I see you, I see you, oh-oh
