Second Chance

Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight

Touched down on the cold black tar
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breathe in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos

All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared?

Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the one's forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath


There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work he's buying time

All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared?

Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach?
Give me your heart for the one's forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I've been there a million times
A couple of million eyes just moving past me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong

Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way you see the people all alone

(-"Give Me Your Eyes" by Brandon Heath)

Every single time I hear this song, tears well up in my eyes.
 I want You to use my arms to hold Your broken-hearted. I want to You to use me to remember Yours that are forgotten. 

I'm holding my breath waiting for that second chance, because I know it's right around the corner. 

Use me Lord. Prepare me. I'm Yours.
