I See You
Michael W. Smith Lyrics

The lyrics to Michael W. Smith's "I See You" speak to the universal feeling of uncertainty and fear that we all experience from time to time. The first stanza paints a picture of doubt and despair as the singer questions the very purpose of his existence: "Sometimes I wonder if my beating heart has a reason / The thought of breathing only takes my breath away / I've spent so many nights wrestling with this feeling / Do I have the strength to make it through the day." But then, the chorus provides the answer to these questions: we were never meant to walk this road alone, and there is always someone we can trust to be there for us. "I will carry you, be your strength and pull you through," promises the singer. "Reach for me and take my hand / We will pray and we will stand."

The second stanza continues in the same vein, exploring the idea that sometimes we need the support and love of another person to keep going: "Sometimes you wonder if the road you're on has a reason / It's hard to go on when you just don't know / We can shoulder all the weight of life between us / Until the fear of what we cannot see is gone." The chorus repeats, and the final line sums up the message of the song: "And I will carry you / Please know, I will carry you."

The song is a powerful reminder that we are not alone, and that even in our most difficult moments, there is always someone who can help us through. It speaks to the importance of community and human connection, and reminds us to reach out to others when we need help.
