I'd never heard of Brandon Heath, but when I got on youtube today to find a song about seeing the world through another person's eyes, I stumbled on this little hottie and thought I'd found a winner.
Initially, I was going for a song that talked about the phenomenon of seeing the world, including yourself, through the eyes of your lover -- and how the world -- and you -- start to take shape in a different way when you allow that to happen.
The fact that Brandon's lyrics also cover the feeling I have every morning when I walk into work and greet all the homeless people by looking them in the eye and saying "Good morning!" is just an added bonus. I've been so, so, tempted to take them all to Starbucks for coffee, but so far I've managed to resist and instead just give them my eyes:
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 one's forgotten
Give me your eyes so i can see
