Seeing For The Very First Time
Bebe Winans' 'Seeing for the Very First Time' is a reflective love song that marvels at the wonder of new awareness, using nature imagery like sunlight, breezes, and rolling waves to describe a profound awakening. The lyrics suggest a spiritual or romantic revelation, where the singer perceives beauty and connection as if for the first time. Themes of unity and growth appear in lines about a seed planted in love and making one heart of two. While not explicitly gospel, the song carries a sense of gratitude and awe that resonates with Christian themes of recognizing God's presence in creation and relationships.
Is this your smile
Or is that sunlight through the trees
Was that your sigh
Or just a gentle breeze
Is this your voice
Rolling waves upon the sea
Is this a dream
Or can it be
That I'm seeing for the very first time
The rustling leaves
That bring your laughter all around
The dancing wind
Feet barely touching down
Is this a song
Or nature's perfect melody
Is this a dream
Or can it be
That I'm seeing for the very first time
Yes, time is on our side
And a seed, plated in love will grow
We're each a part of everything and everyone
Now is that my heart
Was that thunder with this rain
Was that a spark
Did you touch me once again
Are those my eyes
Or are you looking back at me
Is this a miracle
Can it be true
That its possible to make one heart of two
Is that a dream
I do believe, I do believe
That I'm seeing for the very first
Seeing for the very first
Seeing for the very first time.
