Right Before Your Eyes

Do you think its all over? Do you feel your life is like a lover thats turned their back on you? Are you runnin for cover? Does a day go by that youre not-a-wishin that you could start anew? I hear you! alright!
So you feel a little jaded? Do you find your dreams have all been traded for a grownup point of view? Have your memories faded? Did you forget how you always swore youd make it? Well, why is life now living you?
So many days Id waste away Let my dismay consume and bind me Now here I stand, a liberated man I took command by taking it easy
Chorus: They say you aint got it, but dont you believe it They pray that youll fall in line Within your reflection discover perfection Dont fall for the loveless lies The one to believe in is right before your eyes
What they sell, are you buyin? Do I come off like another pitchman lyin? Well, who can you believe? You might think youre dyin... Is what you feel just the child in your heart a-cryin For you to set it free? oh!
Were bought and sold, taught lust for gold Trade youth for old schoold blind ambition But if you slow it down and take a look around You wont believe what youve been missing
Chorus
Whats family honor? Did you faithfully bow down and allow your father To steal your sense of pride? Or was it your momma? Has she treated you like youve been her little trauma Since the day the rabbit died? I hear you! oh, yeah!
Chorus
Out chorus: They say you aint got it, dont you believe it Youve been chasing a waste of time Its in your reflection, a shining perfection If you look with your heart youll find (right before your eyes) The one to believe in is right before you The one you can lean on is right beore your eyes The one you can turn to is right before your eyes
