Thru My Eyes
Phil Collins Lyrics

It's never where you think you'll find it
The thing you want is always hidden and not available at the first glance

The thing you think you're looking for
People end up chasing things that they believe will satisfy them but often find themselves unsatisfied

It could take you all your lifetime
Finding what you are looking for can be a lifelong pursuit

And still you'd never quite be sure
Even after procuring what one desires, one may remain unsure whether it was precisely what they were searching for

You could look everywhere
People search for the thing they seek in various places

Because you know it's there
People search earnestly because they have faith that what they are seeking is out there

Somewhere beneath the sky
The thing they seek can be anywhere under the vast expanse of the sky

But too close and you'll get burned
Getting too infatuated with finding what one is looking for causes disappointment when things don't work out

There's no lesson learned
People continue to make the same mistake of getting too obsessed with finding what they desire, despite the failure of their previous attempts.

Yet some people pass it by
Despite the numerous attempts made by people to search, they sometimes ignore the obvious right in front of them

You'll see things different when you look through my eyes
One's perspective on the same subject can change drastically depending upon how they look at it.

Things are different if you see what I see
One individual's perspective on the topic can be so different from another's that their views are not comparable.

Just look closely and you'll see through my eyes
Looking closely and examining the other person's perspective could help people see things differently themselves

It could be different, you'll see how it could be,
People will see how things could potentially be assorted after examining someone else's perception

If you can see
It is essential to view life situations with open-mindedness in order to understand another point of view

You may need help to find your way home
People may need assistance from someone to find their path and clarity in their lives.

Those who brought you here have flown
In someone's life, there are people who come and go, leaving individuals uncertain and lost on their path.

The road you take is full of hope or sadness
Life's way is an amalgamation of ups and downs, comprising both reassuring moments and depressions.

The choice you make will be your own
The outcome of someone's life is solely their own responsibility as they decide and make choices with their free will.

But you're not alone in there
Though people may feel single-handed in life's quest, others do share in their trials

Just say hello in there
Initiating social interaction can lead people to forging new relationships that can aid them in life.

cause there are many just like you
Many people have faced the same obstacles and problems that could be weighing someone down in their lives.

They'll help you find someway
People can offer guidance to those who feel lost help find their way back to their path.

To make it all the way
People provide strategies for others to stay committed and achieve their goal till the end.

They'll tell you all you have to do
Individuals can provide practical suggestions and guidance to help someone get their life back on track

No one warns you of the heartache
The bitterness and sorrows of life cannot be foreseen or predicted

No one can hide you from the storm
Life's inevitable storms are often unavoidable no matter how much people try to shield themselves.

But from the shadows there will come the sunshine
Hope will re-emerge from the rough phases, providing brightness like a ray of sunshine in the darkness

A place to dry and keep you warm
People find comfort and warmth when they go through rough patches or tough times.

Though no one tells you how
Life's difficulties sometimes provide no manual regarding how to combat or overcome them

Your hearts beating faster now
Fight or flight mode kicks in as adrenaline pumps up to handle the situation

Getting stronger day by day
As time passes, people grow stronger and wiser, allowing them to handle their issues with grace and resilience.

Suddenly it's clear, what you seek is near
When people start to think rationally and strive to gain knowledge, they can identify better ways to achieve their goals.

It's what you learn along the way
The experiences gathered during the journey assist individuals in achieving their goal by supplementing them with knowledge.

You'll find it, just look closer
The factors people crave often appear closer than they perceive, and by looking more closely, they will find what they were seeking
