Perspective

[Verse 1]:
Gotta help myself before I can help others
Too caught up in life to even care about others
I’m busy, making sure I can help out my parents
Too tired to read the news when I got problems forget it
I'd rather, focus my energy, do what I love
Cause lately I dont know who's real, I don’t know who to trust
I wanna believe in the greater good of a person
But from what I been hearing it might be the devil whos working
I’m often juggling so much can hardly deal with the rest
And when I try to help my own self takes the best
Of me and find myself, back at home trying to cope
My anxiety keeps on turning my highs to a low
And thats when I hurt other even tho I dont mean to
Try to put it behind me no looking back in my rear view
No, I need to face it, recognize my mistakes
Voices sayin turn it around its never too late
And trust me I’m trying I won’t let the bad win the good
But I’m caught up in the greed, lit screens when I should
Find peace and take moment to breathe
Only then I can release these words when I speak

[Verse 2]:
The world I’m living is much bigger than me
Learning a lot about people when I listen in deep
To their pain, a power that can bring us together
Closed off before but everyday doing much better
And if your listening hope you take this with you
Don’t ever think you alone, know I’m right there with you
Cause you were there for me, here with me now
If it comes from within the people will hear me out
And if this what makes me happy then what do I care about
I got all that I need but most importantly Im proud
And whether I’m speaking to a few of you or a crowd
Ima live in the moment I got to be here now
Cause half the time I’m not am I losing control?
Lord help me see things differently than before
Because, it's easier to judge than to listen to you
Easy to say why for problems that been given to you
Much easier to point the finger and blame others
Much harder to recognize that were all brothers
And sisters, take a moment to breathe
Only then can we release these words when we speak

[Outro]:
At the end of the day we are all human beings with emotions, no different from each other. We all have dreams, we all feel pain. That is why we must continue fight for those who are not heard, and tear down walls that have been put in place to divide us. Though we may share different cultures, religions and backgrounds, we are very much similar. We have much more in common. Sometimes hearing people’s stories can help us broaden our perspective, allowing us empathize with one another. I know the world moves so fast and it’s so exhausting, but we can all make an impact and truly truly make things better
