Through Heaven's Eyes - Gary Wilmot & The Prince of Egypt Original Cast Ensemble

It's been on me since little Mama called me smooth criminal And I never knew the reasons why Just like crazy 8's go figure Almost got stuck in the middle Of not being here or being alive Heaven looked out and I got another chance for free Oooh I was sleeping wide awake Living life for the world But losing me Crazy cuz I lived it I'm not innocent Somethin made me forget it But now I remember Would you believe if you could see it through my eyes? For a day wish we could switch sides Had no fears But I can't lie about it Shed some tears Moving through trenches I was by myself Heart was callin But I had no help Admit I let me go But they can't have my soul Gota glimpse of the angels laying me down But Heaven looked out and I got another chance for free Oooh I was sleeping wide awake Living life for the world But losing me Crazy cuz I lived it I'm not innocent Somethin made me forget it But now I remember Would you believe if you could see it through my eyes? For a day wish we could switch sides Thought I was fading Got lost in space and time I made my payment Got refunded my life Fuck being famous Who says it's wrong or right Got too much favor But Heaven looked out and I got another chance for free Oooh I was sleeping wide awake Living life for the world But losing me Crazy cuz I lived it I'm not innocent Somethin made me forget it But now I remember Would you believe if you could see it through my eyes? For a day wish we could switch sides This my truth Could never understand all the things I go through This is my truth What it takes to be a man When the eyes on you

Leaving through the back door Freezing in the cold Communication breakdown Emotional overload Been through a wall of fire Now I feel like the ashes glow Ashes glow. Cars passing on the freeway My mind is on the run I keep running from my shadow I'm not the only one Somewhere in the distance Someone's taking flight Destination unknown Just fade into the light There's so much said and done But after all The time has come, to leave it all Behind If you could see it through my eyes You'd know I tried to change it all I've been trying all my life To stand up every time I fall If you could see it through my eyes I feel sadness up my spine The future on my hands I'm standing here alone With open arms again Tomorrow ain't no stranger There'll be a lucky star And love will find it's way Into someone's heart Too late for tears No time to be confused It's just the echo of our Swan song If you could see it through my eyes You'd know I tried to change it all I've been trying all my life To stand up every time I fall If you could see it through my eyes You'd see that love will always wait Somewhere out there is my life A new love that comes my way If you could see it through my eyes Through my eyes Through my eyes Through my... eyes If you could see it through my eyes You'd know I tried to change it all I've been trying all my life To stand up every time I fall If you could see it through my eyes You'd see that love will always wait Somewhere out there is my life A new love that comes my way If you could see it through my eyes Through my eyes Through my eyes Through my... eyes What was meant to be forever Is breaking all apart (through my eyes) What was meant to be forever Leaves the hole inside my heart (through my eyes) What was meant to be forever We throw it all away (through my... eyes) What was meant to be forever Was nothing but a game What was meant to be forever Is breaking all apart What was meant to be forever
