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
