Not All Eyes See

Looking through the world
Seems like the darkest place
Every single day
The world brings its own dismay 

You live your life
Like it means nothing
You live your life
Never putting your trust in something 
Don’t you see what you have to lose
You waste your life away
Hell is going to make you pay
Heaven’s got no room for you

The more you have
The more you want
You say you’re blessed
But every possession 
Just brings you closer to death

It’s sad to think that the ones who were blind
Are the only ones who can truly see
It’s sad to say that the ones who were beaten and broken
Are the only ones that know who to hope in

It’s hard not to think of death at times
When life seems to fly
It’s hard not to think of hell 
And to think how far I’ve fell

Deep inside I cry
Because so many believe the lie
Every day I pray
That I can show you the way

You live your life
Like it means nothing
You live your life
Never putting your trust in something
Don’t you see what you have to lose
You waste your life away
Hell is going to make you pay
Heaven’s got no room for you

It’s sad to think that the ones who were blind
Are the only ones who can truly see
It’s sad to say that the ones who were beaten and broken
Are the only ones that know who to hope in
