home
When he passes me by he's a ray of light
like the first drop of sun from the sky.
And I know he's a king who deserves a queen.
But I am not a queen.
And he doesn't
see me.
When he dances he moves me to a smile
and I see everething near him shine.
There's a grace in his ways that I can't contain
I have not that grace.
Oh I haven't
that grace.
And the closer he gets I can't help but hide
so ashamed of my body and voice.
There are boundaries we pass in spite of the war
But our own
, we can't seem to cross.
She has a way that surrounds her so delicate
with a glory that reigns in her life.
She is also so much that she is not
These things I can'y see
And he doesn't see me.
And he doesn't
see me
There are things we can change
if we just choose to fight.
But the walls
of injustice are high.
When he passes me by he's a ray of light.
Like the first drop of sun from the sky.
And I know he's a king who deserves a queen.
Someone other than me.
So diferent
from me.
He doesn't see me.
He doesn't
see me.

這首歌背後的故事真是美麗極了。不知怎的 , 我總覺得跟月亮有關的都很迷人。
月亮的陰晴圓缺、吉普賽女人跟月亮的交易、把患白化病的男孩想成月亮之子
