"Through My Own Eyes" lyrics

Give me a world that's equal on all sides
Let freedom flow as constant as the tides
I pray with each sunset, don't forget to rise
(Don't forget to rise)
I live without regret
For ordinary lives

I'm looking at life through my own eyes
Searching for a hero to idolize
Feeling the pain as innocence dies
Looking at life through my own eyes
I'm hoping and praying for a brighter day
I listen to my heart and I obey
How can I see it any other way?
I'm looking at life (looking at life)
Through my own eyes

I see a land with liberty for all
Yet still I know the truth will rise and fall
(Ooh yeah-yeah)
That's just the way it goes
A word now to the wise
The world was made to change
Each day is a surprise

Looking at life through my own eyes
Searching for a hero to idolize
Feeling the pain as innocence dies
Looking at life through my own eyes
I'm hoping and praying for a brighter day
I listen to my heart and I obey
How can I see it any other way?
Looking at life (looking at life)
Through my own eyes

And I know when you're looking for the truth
(Mm, hmm)
If you go and read between the lines
You'll discover how and why

I take my heart into battle
Give that freedom bell a rattle
Get my independence signed
Declare it on the dotted line
In Philadelphia freedom ring
And patriotic voices sing
Red, White & Blue never give up
We represent America

I'm looking at life through my own eyes
Searching for a hero to idolize
Feeling the pain as innocence dies
Looking at life through my own eyes
I'm hoping and praying for a brighter day
I listen to my heart and I obey
How can I see it any other way?
I'm looking at life (looking at life)
Through my own eyes
