Lyrics

[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

Lyrics

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

Lyrics

[In fact I see the years in my Father
In fact, in my friend Jay too
A song called,
I see my Father and I see what's Underneath
And it goes]

All right

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 ragged shirt
He's got his shiny teeth
And he is so alive
Filled with vitality

When I see my father now
That's still what I see (it hasn't changed, the way I see him)
I see him as he is
And I see what's underneath

Well if you
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
It's ok he's left them in the dust
He's still got that smile on his face
And he's got trust

When I see my younger brother
That's still the way I see you know
I see the surface now
And I, I see what's underneath

All right

Now if you met my mother
Would you see what's underneath
Underneath is a brand new mom
Making up songs about me

She's got her pretty smile
She's got her pretty face
And in her eyes
There is tenderness for me

When I see my Mother
That's what I see you know
I see my Mother now
And I see what's underneath

One more to talk about
One more verse

If you saw my friend Jay
Would you 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
He can break you up in class
He's got animal grace

When I see Jay now
That's still what I see
I see the surface and I
See what's underneath

Well if you saw my father would you
See what's underneath

Lyrics

I see my father
And I see what's underneath

And he's got his shiny teeth
And he is so alive
Filled with vitality

This is still the way I see him
I see him as he is now
And I see what's underneath

And I see what's underneath

Lyrics

[I see what's underneath

Out playing in the street
My father was about sixty, sixty two,
But when I came and talked ???
When we got together for lunch

So when I see my father now
I see him like when he was younger too
So I see my father, I see what's underneath

It's still a little bit loud
??? A little loud]

Do I see her as she is? Yes I do but I

They think she's too old but

She thinks she's too old for joy in life
But I don't
I'm saying she's not too young
I'm saying she's not too old
She's still got me in my heart
She's still got me in my heart

But if you met 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
But he's left them in the dust
And he is so alive
And on his face he's still got trust

Sometimes he doesn't see it himself but I see it still you know
Well I see where he's at now
And I see what's underneath

[Let's do that father's verse again
??? End it

And I can still see what's underneath
