Perspective
Perspective
We scream up at the heavens, lecturing God on what is fair
When our lives took us one way, when we wanted to be there.
We often look to our surroundings, comparing what we have
When most of those just out of sight, most have less than half
This fight was someone else’s, the pain should have been too
How would we all answer, if not you, then who?
Would we see it any differently if he came down from above?
And showed us all his power and never-ending love
Our eyes can only see so much, our senses much the same
So much is learned in darkness but it’s not the endgame
Take that box of pieces, shake them really well
Scattered individually, the pictures impossible to tell
But like our life experience, as two turn into four
As we are connected, those fragments grow to more.
Each piece has its own purpose its all part of a plan
What exactly I don’t know, I’m also just a man
This I know for certain, most of our limits are lies
Ahead my look like a brick wall, but its paper thin from the skies
Our feelings are our downfall, we believe them to be true
Depression, lies and bitterness are meant only to anchor you
Raise your eyes up just a little, start with just one rung
As you climb a little higher, you’ll see the full reach of the sun
