Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kt_tunstall/suddenly_i_see.html ]
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
She makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower, yeah
The power to be,
The power to give,
The power to see, yeah yeah (suddenly I see)
She got the power to be
The power to give,
The power to see, yeah yeah (suddenly I see)
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see, yeah yeah (suddenly I see)
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see, yeah yeah (suddenly I see)
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see, yeah yeah
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me (Suddenly I see)
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me (Suddenly I see)
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me!
I think this song is about a girl/woman noticing these beautiful, wonderful qualities in another person and suddenly realizing that those are qualities she would like to have. Appreciating these things in another person and feeling like it makes us want to be better people. What a wonderful thing and a beautiful song. Music speaks for us sometimes when we can't find the words. I think this is a perfect song to describe the feelings i have about a friend of mine in her early thirties batteling cancer for the fourth time. She has amazed all of us to know that a human being can possess such streangth and courage and humor throughout such a long and horrendous battle. To still make the people around you laugh while you're going though such hell. Talk about a big strong tower... Well, suddenly i see, this is what i want to be!
This song used to be how i viewed a friend of mine... She was amazing and beautiful and a really strong girl... She came from a really bad home with a drinking, drug addicted mother and she was doing so well on her own... But then, unfortunately, she fell so far. Now she's no better than her mother... And no matter how much i tried, she ditched me for other friends who did the same stuff she did... And now its sad. I miss her... I used to think of her and her boyfriend as family... Now... Now i know they both think i'm just plain annoying/hate me to a certain degree... Its sad indeed.
