Someone Else’s Eyes

VERSE
If I was lookin’ through your eyes,
I wonder what I’d see.
Would I see your good and your bad?
Would I taste the sweet and the sad?
And would I understand you better
If I could see what you see?

If you were lookin’ through my eyes,
I wonder how you’d feel.
Would you ever be afraid
And hide behind the walls that I’ve made?
Would you understand it better
If you could see the things I see?

CHORUS
‘Cause there’s magic in the moment
When someone understands somebody else.
Let’s sit right down and talk about it,
Wearin’ no disguise,
‘Cause everything looks different
Sharin’ someone else’s eyes.

VERSE
If we could look out on this world,
Together feel it turn,
Seein’ it your way and mine,
It only costs a little time,
Maybe we’d understand it better
Sharin’ someone else’s eyes.

CHORUS

If I was lookin’ through your eyes,
I wonder what I’d see.
