SOTW: Give Me Your Eyes- Brandon Heath

I think this has to be one of my favorite songs of all time.

Click here to listen to the song.

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 top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath 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
Ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the ones 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
Ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the ones 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 along

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
Ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
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
Ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Song Trivia: I first heard this song at my church this Friday during a party for those who had served, helping the kids in the back.

MyTake: It's a great Christian song - a great song even if you're not Christian, actually. The message still applies to everyone; the only thing that makes it religious is that, during the last chorus, one of the echos says "Lord, give me your eyes". The message being, to me, that we need to see others for what they are: more than just another person on the side of the street.

I'm gonna send you an ipod with some good songs already uploaded on it so you can listen to them.

From now on, I'm deleting or editing your posts in these topics, RTL; I'm really sick of it.

And by the way, I think the music you listen to is ####, so whoop-dee-freakin'-doo!

Whoa calm down Egaro I was just kidding. :roll:

Yeah and I suppose you were "just kidding" when you said the signature I made you was good. :roll:

But it's true. I mean, what kind of message do you get from songs like Right Round? To make sure that your joint's a strip club?

Okay... fine...

It's okay. -_-

But really I would rather the mods got into a flame war. =P

They do get fun sometimes when they are serious. :face:

I will reply again when I listen to the song later.

@Chargers: I wasn't kidding why do you have to say that? @Egaro: I don't just listen to rap, but their are a lot of rap songs that do have a good message but you wouldn't know.

Re: SOTW: Give Me Your Eyes- Brandon Heath March 8th 2009, 9:13 pm by **Egaro**

Really, RTL? Name five. :)

Because you joke around a lot and I wasn't sure if you were telling the truth.

Re: SOTW: Give Me Your Eyes- Brandon Heath March 8th 2009, 9:22 pm by **Argie**

What genre is this?

Fixed.

Argie- I'm not sure...probably Inspirational on iTunes, I'd guess.

I Love College
Jizz in My Pants
Love in this Club
Smack That
:Joyful:
I think I remember hearing this song before. The chorus sounds familiar.

Re: SOTW: Give Me Your Eyes- Brandon Heath March 8th 2009, 9:28 pm by **Argie**

I Love College? Which rapper wrote that song?

Re: SOTW: Give Me Your Eyes- Brandon Heath March 8th 2009, 9:29 pm by geaux1 1

umm.. egaro you need to calm down your being mean.

Argie wrote:: I Love College? Which rapper wrote that song?

Asher Roth, some new white (Jewish) rapper. The song is all about drinking beer/smoking weed/getting girls naked, which is why I put it on the list for Egaro ;)

Re: SOTW: Give Me Your Eyes- Brandon Heath March 8th 2009, 9:32 pm by **Argie**

Didn't Egaro ask for 5 raps with GOOD messages? XD

(I did think Smack That wasn't very good...)

Re: SOTW: Give Me Your Eyes- Brandon Heath March 8th 2009, 9:33 pm by Chargers

CK, your third song has quite an "interesting" name. -_-

Dead and Gone- if I have the right song, I fail to see the message. Looks more like a hater song.
Heartless- There's no message, but the song's lyrics aren't bad.
My President- *blinks* Hating on Bush? Once again, I don't get the message.
My Life- Almost has a message. :P I don't think any song that talks about the hood and curses that many times could, though.
Where Is The Love- One out of five that has a message. :/ Ni-ice.

Did you think I wouldn't look these up or something? You tell me the POSITIVE message you get out of them (except Where Is The Love, I got that one).
