"Lens" lyrics
"Lens"
You and I are in the same room
We both think we're fair, we both live for truths
But then how are we to define
Something so subjective living under the same roof
So here, these battles of wills
They beg for some proof of right versus wrong
Your approach seen as better than mine
Though it's working for you all I feel is disconnection
So now it's your, your religion against my, my religion
My humble opinion against yours
This does not feel like love
It's you, your conviction against my, my conviction
And I'd like to know what we'd see
Through the lens of love
Love, love, love
And so now your grand assessment
Is that I'm not in your group that I'm not your kind
And so we're locked in a stalemate with you
In your corner and me dismayed in mine
So now it's your, your religion against my, my religion
My humble opinion against yours
This does not feel like love
It's you, your conviction against my, my conviction
And I'd like to know what we'd see
Through the lens of love
Love, love, love
And this stance keeps us locked in boxing gloves
And this lie remains about us being separate
So now it's your, your religion against my, my religion
My humble opinion against yours
This does not feel like love
It's you, your conviction against my, my conviction
And I'd like to know what we'd see
Through the lens of love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Thanks to Diane, Lindsay for correcting these lyrics.

4 Non Blondes - "Spaceman" Starry night bring me down
Till I realize the moon
It seems so distant yet I felt it pass right through
And I see what I see a new world is over me
So I'll reach up to the sky
And pretend that...

From across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning
Memories trapped in time
The night is my companion

Would I spend forever here

Tells the next one there'll be one more
Every gambler knows that to lose

Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost, your witness

Kelly Clarkson - "Broken & Beautiful" I never held my hand out
And asked for something free
I got pride, I could roll out
For miles in front of me
I don't need your help
And I don't need sympathy
I don't need you to lower the bar for me...
