Have You Seen Me - Don McLean

Have you seen me I just might be your little baby?

Have you seen me I’m lookin' at you with grown up eyes?

Every milk carton and highway billboard sign says maybe

Have you seen me or have you only seen my disguise?

I had a fight with mama and she said she couldn’t stand me

I had a fight with papa and he really likes to swing his fist

I’m sick and tired of all those stupid rules they hand me

They try to make me feel I have no right to exist

Have you seen me, well I’ve seen you

I’ve seen what the grown ups do

I’ve seen I can do that too

Have you seen me?

Well I’m older now than I was the day I vanished

You might not even know me if you saw me passin' by

Others take your place in the dark world of the banished

On vicious streets where no one hears me cry

Well you can’t run, you can’t hide

Turn your face, walk inside

Can’t close your doors, because I’m yours

Have you seen me?

Well I’m fighting in Nicaragua, I’m fighting in Afghanistan

In Israel I wear a gun, in Palestine a rock is in my hand

In Africa you see me starve, in America they just throw me away

But I’m making history that other kids will read about some day

Have you seen me, well I’ve seen you

I’ve seen what the grown ups do

I’ve seen I can do that too

Have you seen me?

Have you seen me?

Have you seen me?

Have you seen me?
