Give me a world
That's equal on all sides
Let freedom flow
As constant as the tides
I pray with each sunset
Don't forget to rise (Don't forget to rise)
I live without regret for ordinary lives

I'm looking at life through my own eyes
Searching for a hero to idolize
Feeling the pain as innocence dies
I'm looking at life through my own eyes
I'm hoping and praying for a brighter day
I listen to my heart and I obey
How can I see it any other way
I'm looking at life (looking at life)
Through my own eyes

I see a land
With liberty for all
Yet still I know
The truth will rise and fall (Oooh, yeah, yeah)
That's just the way it goes
A word now to the wise
The world was made to change
Each day is a suprise

I'm looking at life through my own eyes
Searching for a hero to idolize
Feeling the pain as innocence dies
I'm looking at life through my own eyes
I'm hoping and praying for a brighter day
I listen to my heart and I obey
How can I see it any other way
I'm looking at life (looking at life)
Through my own eyes

And I know when you're looking for the truth (mmmmm)
If you go
And read between the lines
You'll discover how and why

I take my heart in to battle
Give that freedom bell a rattle
Get my independance signed
Declare it on the dotted line
Let the Philadelphia freedom ring
And patriotic, voices sing
Red, white, and blue never give up
You represent America

I'm looking at life through my own eyes
Searching for a hero to idolize
Feeling the pain as innocence dies
I'm looking at life through my own eyes (Oohhh yeah)
I'm hoping and praying for a brighter day
I listen to my heart and I obey
How can I see it any other way
I'm looking at life (looking at life)
Through my own eyes
