Through the Eyes of the Other
Andrew Bayuk

VERSE
An eye for an eye will make us blind
A tooth for a tooth ignores the truth,
A hand for a hand can’t understand,
No way to play

VERSE
Fight fire we fire we all get burned
Thirst for revenge then no one learns
A tit for a tat can’t handle that
It all goes wrong.

CHORUS
If we could only learn to see through the eyes of the other
Just discover
That we are really cut from one cloth
A tapestry of you and me
It’s alright

VERSE
Get payback, then be attacked
Retaliate, but don’t turn your back
Just desserts are always served
Up cold, I’m told.

BRIDGE:
If you keep on getting even
Wind up bleeding dry
I don’t think there’s satisfaction from reaction
There’s no wrong that makes it right

LAST VERSE
An eye for an eye still makes us blind
A tooth for a tooth is so uncouth,
A hand for a hand just leaves no hand,
To lend, my friend


CHORUS x2:
Last chorus:
If we could only learn to walk in the steps of the other
Just discover
That we are really cast from one mold
Our legacy that sets us free, it’s alright
it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
