See Myself in You

If I met you on the corner
Would I know you, as you are?
Would I take you for a stranger?
And brush past you in the door

If you called me, would I hear you
Or would I walk away too soon?
If I lingered for a moment
Would I see myself in you?

If I fought you as a soldier
If I had you in my sights
Would you ask me to remember?
Who imagined, I was right

If you witnessed my surrender
Do I know, what I would do?
If you held me like my brother
Would I see myself in you?

Well, I dreamed my end was near
I was almost gone
If I dream that dream from here
Can I still come home?

If you called me, would I hear you
Do I know what I would do?
If you held me like my father
Would I see myself in you?
If you held me like my mother
Would I see myself in you?
