through my own eyes

give me a world that's equal on all sides

let freedom flow as constant as the tides

i pray with each sunset

don't forget to rise

i live without regret

for ordinary lives

i'm lookin' at life through my own eyes

searchin' for a hero to idolize

feeling the pain as innocence dies

looking at life through my own eyes

i'm hoping and praying for a brighter day

i listen to my heart and i obey

how can i see it any other way?

i'm looking at life

through my own eyes

i see a land with liberty for all

yet still i know the truth will rise and fall

that's just the way it goes

a word now to the wise

the world was made to change

each day is a surprise

lookin' at life through my own eyes

searchin' for a hero to idolize

feeling the pain as innocence dies

looking at life through my own eyes

i'm hoping and praying for a brighter day

i listen to my heart and i obey

how can i see it any other way?

looking at life

through my own eyes

and i know when you're looking for the truth

if you go and read between the lines

you'll discover how and why

] i take my heart into battle

give that freedom bell a rattle

get my independence signed

declare it on the dotted line

in philidelphia freedom ring

and patriotic voices sing

red white & blue never give up

we represent america

i'm lookin' at life through my own eyes

searchin' for a hero to idolize

feeling the pain as innocence dies

looking at life through my own eyes

i'm hoping and praying for a brighter day

i listen to my heart and i obey

how can i see it any other way?

i'm looking at life

through my own eyes
