Right Before Your Eyes by Nelson
Do you think it's all over?
Do you feel your life is like a lover that's turned their back on you, oh?
Are you runnin' for cover?
Does a day go by that you're not a wishin' that you could start anew?
I hear you, alright
So you feel a little jaded?
Do you find your dreams have all been traded
For a grownup point of view?
Have your memories faded?
Did you forget how you always swore you'd make it?
Well, why is life now living you, oh?
So many days I'd waste away
Let my dismay consume and bind me
Now here I stand, a liberated man
I took command by taking it easy
They say you ain't got it but don't you believe it
They pray that you'll fall in line
Within your reflection, discover perfection
Don't fall for the loveless lies
The one to believe in is right before your eyes
What they sell, are you buyin'?
Do I come off like another pitchman lyin', well, who can you believe?
I think dyin' is what you feel
Just the child in your heart a cryin' for you to set it free, oh
We're bought and sold, taught lust for gold
Trade youth for old school blind ambition
But if you slow it down and take a look around
