lyrics

I watched this person through the shades
I felt like an ant in a parade
I saw a stranger pull out something
and now the shades have new meaning

as I watch from above
and see my own fatal sores
now I see giving is much more rewarding

for you I gave my life and for that you embrace me

I watched this person through the shades
I felt like an ant in a parade
I saw a stranger pull out a knife
and now the shades have new meaning

as I'm watching from above through light
they tell me what is to be done
you all should put yourselves in others perspectives
and then welcome a new life
