  • Looked down from a broken sky
    Traced out by the city of 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 going 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

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    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 going 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

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

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

    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

    Give me Your eyes for just one second
    Give me Your eyes so I can see (Lord, give me Your eyes)
    Everything that I keep missing
    That I keep missing
    Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted (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 (Lord, give me Your eyes)

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Writer/s: Brandon Heath, Jason David Ingram
