Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight
Touched down on the cold black top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
All those people going somewhere,
Why have I never cared?
Chorus:
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
Ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
Yeah
Yeah [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/brandon_heath/give_me_your_eyes.html ]
Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath
There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work
He's buying time
All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared?
Chorus
I've Been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just moving past me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way you see the people all along
Chorus (x2)
Chorus
[In Background]
Give me your eyes!
Lord give me your eyes!
Everything, I keep missing
Give me your arms!
For the broken hearted!
Give me your arms,
Lord, give me your eyes.
Oh wow i love this song! I love the beat but the lyrics are powerful. Give jesus christ your eyes! God bless

Brandon heath wants to see people through gods eyes. Not as random sick people that he wants to shy away from. But as people that he loves. He wants god to show him how to love like he does.

It makes me recognize that we see people through our own prejudice. We choose to ignore people or discard them because we don't fully see the value in them. We live life by comparison and ranking. God created each and everyone of us, equal, in his image. Somehow we forget about that fact. We would care more, we would yearn more, for people's plight and their lost souls if we saw them as god sees them. Our desire for the lost and our motivation to share jesus christ with them would be powerful and almost overwhelming if we could see others as god does. Your ability to show kindness and grace increases through god's eyes and power. Your patience with others, your empathy, your ability to treat others as thou's increases. If you are not prepared to genuinely care with sacrifice and desire, don't pray the prayer. "go ye therefore making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the son and of the holy spirit. " how can we do that as instructed if we don't see others as god sees them?

I believe this song means that this guy wants to help all the people that he never has seen before... He is now starting to realize that there are people out there that need help.

My meaning for the song is that god is great and he sees things that land in the future, he is perfect. To the part of the song that saws "all those people, going somewhere," my meaning of that would be that god has a plan for you and will lead you somewhere. Things may be tough now but it will get better because god has a plan for you. Worship god with all your heart. It's so easy to forget he's there. No one's perfect, but when we get to heaven someday, we will all be perfect. My cousin is blind and going through kemo and when she gets to heaven i know that she will see. She has been blind since before she was even 1. She is now 16 and has a tumor on her brain stem. She is going through a tough time right now but i know that god has a plan for her. This song helps me remember that. Thanks for letting me post my thoughts about this beautiful song.

It totally means that we should step out of our protection zone and see that there are so many people who need help and love!! They can be scary or something but we need to have god’s loving heart
