[Verse 1]
Fluorescent lights and a plastic chair
Holding my number, pretending not to stare
At the man across with those faraway eyes
And the woman in the corner who stopped asking why
They call a birthday, never a name
Just a card and a number, we all look the same
I sit with my hands folded, quiet and still
Trying to trust what I can't feel

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel so alone in this room full of pain
Surrounded by strangers carrying the same
And I wonder if God can see this floor
Room 3705, Oncology, door four

[Chorus]
But God, You see me
Not the card, not the floor
Not the chart hanging by the door
You see the name
You wrote before I breathed
You see the soul no one else can read
In this cold and numbered place
I am held by name and grace
God, You see me
God, You see me

[Verse 2]
I look at the old man, staring at the wall
I look at the young girl—she can't be twenty at all
What story brought them to this waiting room
What name did they call too soon
I feel their weight like it's on my chest
All these broken people doing their best
And somewhere in the silence I start to pray
God, let them know You haven't looked away

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not as alone in this room full of pain
We're all just strangers carrying the same
And maybe You sent me here to see their face
To feel what You feel in this broken place

[Chorus]
God, You see me
Not the card, not the floor
Not the chart hanging by the door
You see the name
You wrote before I breathed
You see the soul no one else can read
In this cold and numbered place
I am held by name and grace
God, You see me
God, You see me

[Bridge]
Room 3705
We're just trying to stay alive
I don't know what waits on the other side
But I know You walked it first
I know You carried the worst
I know You never look away
From the ones this world forgot today
And maybe that's why I'm here
To see what You see
Every face in this room
Is someone You died to free

[Final Chorus]
God, You see me
God, You see them
Every name on every floor
Every soul behind every door
You see the ones the clipboard missed
Every trembling hand You've kissed
In this cold and numbered place
We are all held by Your grace
God, You see me
God, You see me

[Outro]
You searched me and You know me
You searched me and You know me
