Thru My Eyes

Phil Collins

It's never where you think you'll find it 
The thing you think you're looking for 
It could take you all your lifetime 
And still you'd never quite be sure 

You could look everywhere 
Because you know it's there 
Somewhere beneath the sky 
But too close and you'll get burned 
There's no lesson learned 
Yet some people pass it by 

You'll see things different when you look thru my eyes 
Things are different if you see what I see 
Just look closely and you'll see thru my eyes 
It could be different, you'll see how it could be, 
If you can see 

You may need help to find your way home 
Those who brought you here have flown 
The road you take is full of hope or sadness 
The choice you make will be your own 

But you're not alone in there 
Just say hello in there 
COs there are many just like you 
They'll help you find someway 
To make it all the way 
They'll tell you all you have to do 

You'll see things different when you look thru my eyes 
Things are different if you see what I see 
Just look closely and you'll see thru my eyes 
It could be different, you'll see how it could be, 
If you can see 

No one warns you of the heartache 
No one can hide you from the storm 
But from the shadows there will come the sunshine 
A place to dry and keep you warm 

Though no one tells you how 
Your hearts beating faster now 
Getting stronger day by day 

Suddenly it's clear, what you seek is near 
It's what you learn along the way 

Its never where you think you'll find it 
The thing you think you 're looking for 
Well it could take you all your lifetime 
Still you'll never quite be sure 
You'll find it, just look closer
