Through Your Eyes

VERSE
From a kid on the corner with nothing to eat,
To a man left with only the shoes on his feet.
A family neglected, left on the street, it’s what I’ve seen.
From my first cup of coffee, the posts that I read,
The everyday people: the news that I see.
It fuels my desire; reach out meet a need, that’s what I see.

PRE-CHORUS
It’s a wide open world through another one’s eyes.
It’s the everyday people, the stories that they bring to life.

CHORUS
What would I see if I looked through their eyes?
Would I see tomorrow, a hope for another sunrise?
What would I see in the stories of their lives?
Would I laugh or break down and cry
If I saw through their eyes? What would I see?

VERSE
The whole world is changing around you and me.
There’s so much to learn, there’s so much left to see.
If we could change faces, trade places, what would I see?
When you see me, I wonder what judgments you make,
From your side of the street how do you see my face?
Am I good, am I bad, could you be who I am? What would you see?

PRE-CHORUS
It’s a whole ‘nother world when you see through my eyes.
It’s a brand new beginning, and you bring my story to life.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
When different is all we see causes can seem justified.
Everything changes when we see through each other’s eyes.
