Highlight from lyrics to “See Myself in You” by Tom Prasado-Rao and Tom Kimmel:“If I met you on the corner, would I know you as you are?
Would I take you for a stranger and brush past you in the door?
If you called me, would I hear you? Would I walk away too soon?
If I lingered for a moment, would I see myself in you?
If you held me like my brother, would I see myself in you? ….
If you called me, would I hear you? Do I know what I would do? ….
If you held me like my mother, would I see myself in you?”
