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 through my eyes Things are different if you see what I see Just look closely and you'll see through 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 Cause 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 through my eyes Things are different if you see what I see Just look closely and you'll see through 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
