- I've seen it all -

I have seen the trees,
I've seen the willow leaves
dancing in the breeze,
I've seen a man
killed by his best friend,
And lives that were over
before they were spent.
I've seen what I was -
I know what I'll be,
I've seen it all -
there is no more to see!

- You haven't seen elephants,
kings or Peru!

- I'm happy to say
I had better to do.

- What about China?
Have you seen the Great Wall?

- All walls are great,
if the roof doesn't fall!

- And the man you will marry?
The home you will share?

- To be honest,
I really don't care...

- You've never been
to Niagara Falls?

- I have seen water,
its water, that's all...

- The Eiffel Tower,
the Empire State?

- My pulse was as high
on my very first date!

- Your grandson's hand
as he plays with your hair?

- To be honest,
I really don't care...

I've seen it all -
I've seen the dark,
I've seen the brightness
in one little spark.
I've seen what I chose
and I've seen what I need,
And that is enough,
to want more would be greed.
I've seen what I was
and I know what I'll be.
I've seen it all -
there is no more to see!

- You've seen it all,
and all you have seen
You can always review
on your own little screen:
The light and the dark,
the big and the small
Just keep in mind -
you need no more at all.
You've seen what you were
and know what you'll be,
You've seen it all -
there is no more to see!
