Verse 1
I can understand the stars in the sky
I can understand the water in the stream
But you who stands here before me
Maybe brighter but many things you cannot see.
Verse 2
There are many things that I can comprehend
There are many things that make sound sense
But you whose knowledge is so very vast
Seem to be alien to the present and past.
Chorus
Why don’t we see… eye to eye?
I’m on the ground while you’re in the sky
You think you are higher, and that you may be
But if you were more down to earth then you’d find more to see.
Verse 3
I can understand the clouds that pass by
I can understand the grass beneath my feet
But you who I can hardly see
Seem so distant from reality.
Bridge
You’re above me – why?!
Way above my head – why?!
Way above my head – why?!
Everything you say, everything you’ve said
All your words just go way above my head.
Why don’t we see… eye to eye?
I’m on the ground while you’re in the sky
You think you are higher, and that you may be
But if you were more down to earth then you’d find more to see.
Chorus
Why don’t we see… eye to eye?
I’m on the ground while you’re in the sky
You think you are higher, and that you may be
But if you were more down to earth then you’d find more to see.
