Perspective - Eric Champion
Can I tell you the truth?
Will you listen with grace
Then chalk my words up
To my humanity
Makes more sense than trust does
Or that I question love will survive
When there’s more evidence
May I humbly persist
And go over the list
Of the questions that shout in my head
Will you bear with
Or will you dismiss me
When I seem to complain
And I harp on the things
That keep me awake in my bed
As I’m reaching out for you hand
Will you retreat
Or will you meet me
Cause I want to believe
That a wide open sky’s
Just behind all the clouds (bombs) that are raining
And I want to believe
That’s a hope’s still alive
And that joy will come after this pain
But what my eyes see
Are what I tend to believe
And I know my perspective must change
So change me
Can I tell you I worry
About my family
What kind of world will this be
Will it get worse
Can I make it better
Can you grab all my doubt
By the roots pull them out
If you can that’ what I ask you to do
Or at least come so close
That I can see nothing else
Besides you
Can I tell you the truth?
Will you listen with grace
Then chalk my words up
To my humanity
Makes more sense than trust does
Or that I question love will survive
When there’s more evidence
May I humbly persist
And go over the list
Of the questions that shout in my head
Will you bear with
Or will you dismiss me
When I seem to complain
And I harp on the things
That keep me awake in my bed
As I’m reaching out for you hand
Will you retreat
Or will you meet me
Cause I want to believe
That a wide open sky’s
Just behind all the clouds (bombs) that are raining
And I want to believe
That’s a hope’s still alive
And that joy will come after this pain
But what my eyes see

And I know my perspective must change
So change me
Can I tell you I worry
About my family
What kind of world will this be

Can I make it better

By the roots pull them out
If you can that’ what I ask you to do
Or at least come so close
