forest for the trees

when you're a young man

down and out

you really need someone to help you out

it looks like life or death is your only choice

it's really hard to see

the forest for the trees

the forest for the trees

and when you get angry and everything's black or white

you should know that it isn't that simple

no one's always right

you know that you're life it worth living

you gotta start taking if no one else is giving

and if you're not afraid to open your eyes

you may be pleasantly surprised

things are never as bad as they seem

you just gotta learn to see

the forest for the trees

so if you need somebody

tell them please

if you want someone

get up off your knees

things are never as bad as they seem

you just gotta learn to see

the forest for the trees
