Album: Because They Can

Right Before Your Eyes Lyrics

Do you think it's all over? 

Do you feel your life is like a lover that's turned their back on you? 

Are you runnin' for cover? 

Does a day go by that you're not-a-wishin' that you could start anew? 

I hear you! Alright! 

So you feel a little jaded? 

Do you find your dreams have all been traded for a grownup point of view? 

Have your memories faded? 

Did you forget how you always swore you'd make it? 

Well, why is life now living you? 

So many days I'd waste away 

Let my dismay consume and bind me 

Now here I stand, a liberated man 

I took command by taking it easy 

Chorus: 

They say you ain't got it, but don't you believe it 

They pray that you'll fall in line 

Within your reflection discover perfection 

Don't fall for the loveless lies 

The one to believe in is right before your eyes 

What they sell, are you buyin'? 

Do I come off like another pitchman lyin'? 

Well, who can you believe? 

You might think you're dyin'... 

Is what you feel just the child in your heart a-cryin' 

For you to set it free? Oh! 

We're bought and sold, taught lust for gold 

Trade youth for old schoold blind ambition 

But if you slow it down and take a look around 

You won't believe what you've been missing 

Chorus 

What's family honor? 

Did you faithfully bow down and allow your father 

To steal your sense of pride? 

Or was it your momma? 

Has she treated you like you've been her little trauma 

Since the day the rabbit died? 

I hear you! Oh, yeah! 

Chorus 

Out chorus: 

They say you ain't got it, don't you believe it 

You've been chasing a waste of time 

It's in your reflection, a shining perfection 

If you look with your heart you'll find 

(Right before your eyes) 

The one to believe in is right before you 

The one you can lean on is right beore your eyes 

The one you can turn to is right before your eyes
