Looked down from a broken sky 00:17

Traced out by the city lights 00:19

My world from a mile high 00:22

Best seat in the house tonight 00:24

Touch down on the cold black-top 00:28

Hold on for the sudden stop 00:30

Breathe in the familiar shock of confusion and chaos 00:33

All those people goin' somewhere, why have I never cared? 00:37

Give me Your eyes for just one second 00:47

Give me Your eyes so I can see 00:50

Everything that I keep missin' 00:53

Give me Your love for humanity 00:56

Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted 00:58

The ones that are far beyond my reach 01:01

Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten 01:04

Give me Your eyes so I can see 01:06

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 01:09

Step out on the busy street 01:20

See a girl and our eyes meet 01:23

Does her best to smile at me 01:26

To hide what's underneath 01:28

There's a man just to her right 01:31

Black suit and a bright red tie 01:34

Too ashamed to tell his wife he's out of work, he's buyin' time 01:37

All those people goin' somewhere, why have I never cared? 01:41

Give me Your eyes for just one second 01:51

Give me Your eyes so I can see 01:55

Everything that I keep missing 01:57

Give me Your love for humanity 01:59

Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted 02:02

The ones that are far beyond my reach 02:05

Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten 02:08

Give me Your eyes so I can see 02:10

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 02:13

I've been there a million times 02:24

A couple million lives 02:28

Just movin' past me by 02:30

I swear, I never thought that I was wrong 02:32

But I wanna second glance 02:35

So give me a second chance 02:38

To see the way You've seen the people all along 02:41

Lyrics:

[English]

Looked down from a broken sky

Traced out by the city 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 goin' 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 missin'

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 goin' 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 movin' past me by

I swear, I never thought that I was wrong

But 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 missin'

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

(Lord, give me Your eyes) give me Your eyes, so I can see

Everything that I keep missing

That I keep missing (keep missing)

Give me Your heart for the broken-hearted (for the broken-hearted)

(The ones that are far beyond my reach)

Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten

Lord, give me Your eyes

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
