Momma I See Something You Don’t See

Written by R. Friend

I held a caterpillar fuzzy green. It squirmed and started crawlin’ up my knee.

I shout, Momma, I see somethin’, Momma, I see somethin’,

Momma, I see somethin’ you don’t see.

I hear her softly whisper in my ear. I’ve a secret – her words are crystal clear.

Bursting forth in full sunlight – dancing darelessly in flight.

What once was bound – is a butterfly dancing free!

Dare to dance – Dare to rise above! Dare to dance – Dare to share you love

Dare to dance – in a brand new world!

Eyes aglow I felt so in command. –a teeny , tiny tadpole in my hand.

I shout, Momma, I see somethin’, Momma, I see somethin’

Momma, I see somethin’ you don’t see.

I hear her softly whisper in my ear, I’ve a secret her words are crystal clear.

Growing, changing day by day a bright big bullfrog hops our way.

Croaking out a song – for all to hear!

Leap for joy – Dare to rise above! Leap for joy – Dare to share your love!

Leap for joy - in a brand new world!

BRIDGE:

Pieces of the puzzle – oh, there’s so much more—to what my mother said when I was four.

Full of love & so very wise—she said there’s much more than meets our human eyes.

‘Cause Momma sees somethin’ you don’t see.

You’re growing, changing and one day you’ll be.

Leaping off a launching pad – homeward bound - free at last!

Free to be what you were made to be!

Dare to dance – Dare to rise above! Dare to dance – Dare to share you love

Dare to dance – in a brand new world!

And now I’m grown with children of my own. My mother’s gone, but this one thing I know

She’s in heaven up above –and she’s smiling down with love—

I hear her softly whisper in my ear. I’ve a secret!

Honey, I see somethin’ you don’t see, Darling, I see somethin’ you don’t see,

So don’t forget to sing and soar, ‘Cause life goes on - forevermore

Leap for joy and dare to dance and sing!

‘Cause Momma sees somethin’ – Momma sees somethin’ –

Momma sees somethin’ you don’t see!
