If? Lyrics

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 write 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 believedPeople judge from what they see
But Lord you see the heartIf we had Your eyes
We'd see things right
If we could just see from Your point of view
Then most things won't be as they seem
If we had Your eyes (if we had Your eyes)"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 arms
That she was hiding from me
She never said a word, and all I said to her is that you love her more
Than she could ever believePeople judge from what they see

But Lord you see the whole heartIf we had Your eyes (if we had Your eyes)
We'd see things right
If we could just see from Your point of view
Then most things won't be as they seem
If we had Your eyes (if we had Your eyes)Show me, teach me, how to see clearly
Live in the spirit and truth
We'd be able to show love, the way that You love us
If we could see like You (if we could see)
If we had Your eyes
If we had Your eyesIf we had Your eyes (we'd see things right)
We'd see things right
If we could just see from Your point view
Then 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 it
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
