Through Those Eyes


He waddles through the town like there�s no one there to see him
In his faded purple shirt and red sweat pants
You�ve seen him �round for years, and you�d never want to be him
He hardly rates a passing second glance

He could be thirty-five or he could be close to fifty
His tired eyes only say he�s been around
If you ever tried to ask, he�d stare back at you blankly
He can speak, but he rarely ever makes a sound

Do you wonder what its like in his world
Do you wonder what he sees through those eyes
When you look out and see a steady downpour
Does he look out and see a lost sunrise
Through those eyes

She hears the voices clear, so they call her schizophrenic
�cause she cannot tell what�s real and what�s a lie
Her head is sometimes filled with fear and lonesome panic
You can only guess what passing through her mind

If she looks to you and says, �Do you think I�m crazy?�
What can you say to help the moment pass?
�We all see things in different shades of hazy.
It�s just that some find living easier to grasp
Easier to grasp�

Do you wonder what its like in her world
Do you wonder what she sees through those eyes
When you look out and see a steady downpour
Does she look out and see a lost sunrise
