Harder to see

Lord, you see...
Everything...
When I don't understand or my heart is too heavy to speak,
When my compassion overrides my logic,
Or when I still give beyond people's ill judgement,
When I close my ears and block out opinions,
Because I know many can be shallow without knowing the reasons,
I have fought for underdogs many times,
And when I have seen the truth underneath they're ways I've cried,
That not everyone and everything I see,
Is truly what everybody labels it to be,
And it's the harder path to take and easier to walk away,
And many will turn their noses up to you, and shun you the same way,
But my heart cannot ignore the love of your voice,
Because I know love is not just a feeling, it's a choice,
