《I See Everything》歌词

[00:00:00] I See Everything - La Dispute

[00:00:08] Like any morning of my

[00:00:10] Junior year

[00:00:11] I stumble in the classroom

[00:00:13] Late but this day I see

[00:00:15] Faces I feel

[00:00:16] An air like a funeral

[00:00:17] Like a wake

[00:00:18] As I sit down

[00:00:20] Teacher speaking

[00:00:21] Somewhat sombrely

[00:00:23] But still confident and calm

[00:00:25] Part eulogy

[00:00:26] Her speech and

[00:00:28] Part poem part celebration song

[00:00:29] Her warmth and smile

[00:00:31] She passes photocopies

[00:00:32] Out to us of entries

[00:00:34] From a journal

[00:00:35] Kept so long ago

[00:00:37] She starts to read

[00:00:38] And suddenly

[00:00:40] It's 1980

[00:00:42] March 5

[00:00:43] The cancer is furious

[00:00:45] But our son is resilient

[00:00:47] We have all the faith

[00:00:49] We'll get through this

[00:00:50] No matter what the end

[00:00:52] Treatments are violent but

[00:00:54] He keeps on smiling

[00:00:56] It's amazing

[00:00:57] Finding joy in the little things

[00:00:59] April 12

[00:01:01] Andrew's appetite's improved

[00:01:03] And we thank God everyday

[00:01:05] But still it's hard sometimes

[00:01:07] To see him in that scarecrow frame

[00:01:10] July 9

[00:01:11] There's a suffering

[00:01:12] When I look in his eyes

[00:01:15] He's been through so much

[00:01:17] We've all been through so much but

[00:01:20] What incredible resolve

[00:01:22] Our little boy shows only 7

[00:01:24] Standing face to face with death

[00:01:26] He said it's easy to find people

[00:01:29] Who have suffered worse than him

[00:01:31] "Like Jesus suffered worse than anyone"

[00:01:33] He told me last night

[00:01:35] "When God abandoned him" and

[00:01:37] September 20

[00:01:39] We've been playing in the yard

[00:01:41] Lately his spirits are high

[00:01:43] Although his blood counts aren't

[00:01:46] October 14

[00:01:47] He feels tired all the time

[00:01:49] November 30

[00:01:50] At the hospital again

[00:01:52] It feels like home when we're here

[00:01:54] December 8

[00:01:56] He's getting worse

[00:01:59] January 19

[00:02:03] We buried our son today

[00:02:07] Our youngest child

[00:02:09] And while his death was ugly

[00:02:12] We must not

[00:02:14] Let it scare us from God

[00:02:16] Abundant grace has restored him

[00:02:19] A brand new body

[00:02:20] And set him free from the torture

[00:02:23] Finally rid of the cancer

[00:02:25] Before the moment he left

[00:02:27] He briefly wrested from death

[00:02:29] Suddenly opened his eyes

[00:02:31] Said "I see everything"

[00:02:34] "I see everything"

[00:02:36] And I will never forget it

[00:02:39] The peace and the comfort

[00:02:41] You displayed through a pain

[00:02:43] That I can only imagine

[00:02:46] The loss of a child

[00:02:48] To the torture of cancer

[00:02:50] Help me

[00:02:52] Cause I can only imagine

[00:02:54] How you recovered

[00:02:55] Kept your faith

[00:02:56] And held the brightness of life

[00:02:59] Inside the smile of a child

[00:03:01] You had to bury

[00:03:03] And I will never forget him

[00:03:06] Or your steadfast faith

[00:03:08] No I will never forget you

[00:03:10] Now six or seven years later

[00:03:12] I'm devoid of all faith

[00:03:14] I am empty of comfort

[00:03:17] And I am weary of waiting

[00:03:19] Though I've felt nowhere what you have

[00:03:22] I see nothing at all

[00:03:23] Though I've felt nowhere what he did

[00:03:26] My eyes are closed
