I see my father
I see what's underneath
underneath is an eight year old
out playing in the street
he's got his riding shirt
he's got his shiny teeth
and he is so alive
filled with vitality
when i see my father
that's what I see
I see him as he is
and I see what's underneath
well
I see my mother
and I see what's underneath
underneath is a little girl
?
passing notes in class
sitting next to boy named ira
he says 'you must mean
?
when I see my mother
that's what i see
I see her like she is
and I see what's underneath
yeah
I see my brother
I see what's underneath
underneath is an eight year old
and full of grace indeed
he's chased by a gang of kids
he's left them in the dust
but he's still smiling
he's still got trust
when i see my brother
that's what I see
I see him like he is
and I see what's underneath
well, ok
I see my friend Jay
I see what's underneath
underneath is a six year old
laughing just like a wild hyena
he's got his funny jokes
he's got his funny face
hell break you up and laugh
and he's got animal grace
when i see my friend Jay
that's what I see
I see him as he is
and I see what's underneath
ok, here we go
I see my father
and I see what's underneath

when I see my father, I see him as he is right now, he's about 62 now, but when I look at him, I also see what's underneath, I see him as a little boy ???
well
I see my father
and I see what's underneath
underneath is an eight year old
out playing in the street
he's got his riding shirt
he's got his shiny teeth
and he is so alive
he's filled with vitality
when i look at my father now
that's still what I see (I see it when i hear him talk you know)
I see him as the man he is now
and I see what's underneath
same with my mother
if you'd see my mother
would you see what's underneath
underneath is a brand new mom
making up songs about me ???
she's got her pretty hair
she's got her pretty smile
oh and in her eyes and she's got tenderness and she's so ???
when I talk to my mom you know, at lunch say
that's still what i see
well, I see her like she is
and I see what's underneath
yeah, deeper, ???
saw my brother would you
see what's underneath
underneath is an eight year old
and full of grace is he
bein' chased by a gang of kids
he's left them in the dust
he's still got that smile on his face
he's full of grace you know, he's got trust
and when i see my younger brother
that's still the way I see him
even if he's sad a little now say for example
well I would see that you know
I see what's underneath
I don't even try, that's how it works
when I see my old friend Jay
I see what's underneath
underneath is a six year old
laughing just like a wild hyena
he's got his funny jokes
he's got his funny face that can make you laugh in class
he's full of soul ??? he's got animal grace
when i see Jay now for example
that's still what I see
I see him as he is ???
I see what's underneath
all right
I see my father
and I see what's underneath
