With God

All things are possible

Mark 10:27

We’ve been brothers

We’ve been soldiers

We’ve been expected

Destroyed and distorted

We’ve been trained

And told

We’re unimportant

What a life for

A man

And a boy

And a son

In America

Land of the brave

Home of the Great

Did you forget

What is fast

And true and now

And new

You’re kinda

Slow

For my

Type of mood

Attitude

It’s irrelevant

And true

Character is the

Only way to

Change you

And me and I

And love made true

Change the space

Created and made

By God

His

Love and Truth

Give Me Your Eyes

Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight

Touch down on the cold black-top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breathe in the familiar shock of confusion and chaos
All those people goin’ somewhere, why have I never cared?

Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missin’
Give me Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see

Step out on the busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what’s underneath

There’s a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife he’s out of work, he’s buyin’ time
All those people goin’ somewhere, why have I never cared?

Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see

I’ve been there a million times
A couple million lives
Just movin’ past me by
I swear, I never thought that I was wrong
But I wanna second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way You’ve seen the people all along
