Perspective


caught me eyeing down the ropes

thinking "no hope, no hope"

climbing up a wooden chair

thinking "what's here, what's here"

but a new perspective changes things 

can't see that bully bully 

caught me making up my mind

thinking "I'm fine, I'm fine"

climbing up a wooden ladder 

saying "see you later, see you later" 

but a new perspective changes things

now my problems don't seem as worldly worldly

but can I change you to see me?
