Everything
Before Their Eyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It can be hard at times to realize the gift we've all been given.

If we just believe, it'll set us free.

We don't always spend our lives
The way we should
Just ask and be forgiven.
Give me the strength I need
Give me clear eyes to see.

I fell off the map
Been there before
This world is far from perfect.

Just give it a chance if nothing more
This life is more than worth it.

Give me the strength I need
Give me clear eyes to see
Give, give it all I need, everything.

Take it away, x2
Our world full of pain make it okay.

Everything,
Whoa!
Oh! x7
Whoa!
Oh! x3

Tell me what can we do
The choices we made
The words that you say make it okay.

Everything,
Whoa!
Oh! x7
Whoa!
Oh! x3

I fell off the map
Whoa! Off the map,
I've been there before.

I've lost everything,
Whoa! Everything,
But you give me more.





You've given all we need to be everything.
