Through the Eyes of Death
Nothing will ever look the same
When you're told you're going to die
The things you took for granted
Will no longer pass you by
The flowers become more beautiful
'Cause you take the time to smell
And the things that went unnoticed
Now live to say farewell
The things you touch seem different
While marveling at the feel
You wonder why you have to die
To make things seem so real
The gentle winds that kiss your face
Now bring you to your knees
You never notice until it's too late
The joy that's in the breeze
The past becomes your future
Remembering your mistakes
You live each day to right the wrong
No matter what it takes
The hardest part is saying goodbye
To all the people you love
One more day is all you want
It's all you're thinking of
You're amazed by God's creation
While counting every breath
The world will never look the same
As you look through the eyes of death
