If We Had Your Eyes Lyrics - Michelle Williams

Verse 1:

Can you spare some change is what I heard him say

At the light, so I dug through my ashtray

My good deed today, changed my life

I thought I knew it all, quick to right him off

Looked like he was lost, until I heard him speak

Now I’ve heard that voice before knew that it was yours

He said you loved me more than I even believed

Pre-chorus:

People judge from what they see

But Lord you see the whole world

Chorus:

If we had Your eyes

We’d see things right

If we could just see from Your point view

The most things won’t be as they seem

If we had Your eyes

If we had Your eyes

Verse 2:

‘I had the perfect day’ is what she says to me all the time

She’s so beautiful, nothing’s ever wrong in her life

Yeah that’s what I thought, until I saw the scars she cut in her eyes

She was hiding from me

She never said a word, and all I said to her is that

… that you could ever believe

Pre-chorus:

People judge from what they see

But Lord you see the whole world

Chorus:

If we had Your eyes

We’d see things right

If we could just see from Your point view

The most things won’t be as they seem

If we had Your eyes

If we had Your eyes

Verse 3:

Show me, teach me, I don’t see clearly

Living the spirit ain’t cool

We be able to show love, the way that You love us

If we could see like You

If we had Your eyes

If we had Your eyes

Chorus:

If we had Your eyes

We’d see things right

We’d see things right

If we could just see from Your point view

The most things won’t be as they seem

If we had Your eyes

If we had Your eyes

God if I had Your eyes

I could love better, have more compassion

And I would understand what I’m going through, while I’m going through

I’d be more patient

God help me to see things the way you see things

Did I already say help me to be patient,

I’ll say that again, wow

Give us your eyes God
