I used to see things through these eyes
Of jaded lens and compromise
I saw the world as mine to take
I was first in line for my heartache

I used to see thing through these eyes
Of starry gleams and dollar signs
Fame was there to claim as mine
Betraying myself was a capitol crime

I used to see things through these eyes
But now I've changed, no longer blind
From the ground up to the sky
Perspective now has changed my life

I now see things through these eyes
Of compassion in the face of others' demise
And hurting when the hurting I see
I no longer life for just me

I now see things through these eyes
Of eternity after we die
And every life, a soul to save
From death, hell, and an eternal grave

Selfishness no longer reigns
Where in my life the throne room is
Idle, the hand that held the scepter
Perspective changed my world forever.
