If you sat still enough to see,
What I see,
Would you see it clearly?
If you sat still enough to see,
Out of the corner of your eye,
What I see in front of mine,
Would it be the same?

When I'm moving so fast,
I see it.
When I'm running away,
I see it.
When I'm averting my vision,
I see it.
Would you see it?
As clearly as I do?

If you sat still enough,
Just enough to catch its shadow,
Would it amaze you,
Like it does me?
If you sat still enough to see,
Would you see what I see?
