From The Inside

(Timothy B. Schmit)

Sittin' near ya, starin' at ya
Saying nothing
Wond'rin' if you're really you
And if I'm someone
That you could know
Beyond the first hello

Eyes that search like the morning sun
But never finding
Silently I can feel the glow
And I'm not minding
But then you know
I've been tryin' to show
Why it makes me cry
Talkin' it over from the inside

Something new and oh, so sacred
Grows within the depths of you
But still I just can't keep from wond'rin'
For I'm but a child, too

Changes timelessly fill the spaces
It's so blind of me
I've seen the faces of a gifted few
Who can help us break our chains that bind

Thinkin' all the time
Why I can't unwind
You must feel the pain
Why it makes me cry
I'm talkin' it over from the inside
