Through Some Other Eyes

The song ‘Through Some Other Eyes’ by Andrew Culverwell, expresses the feelings of my heart when I think of all those children orphaned in Liberia, as a result of its fifteen year civil war! Here are the words of the song…

 
Why should the sun shine down on me? I know I don’t deserve it. Why should the rain bring me life again? God knows that I’m not perfect. Looking through some other eyes, I began to realize; some have had a heavier cross to bear, some a steeper hill to climb!

 
Why should a child stand all alone, but I have a Ma and Papa? Why should the world be so very cold, but I’ve had allot of laughter? Looking through some other eyes, I began to realize; some have had a heavier cross to bear, some a steeper hill to climb!

Just to know God loves me so, gives me strength to live—strength to share the pain, the tears, and shame… giving love with so much love to give!
Why is my life so peaceful and still, while some lay awake and frightened? Why does the world say that it’s the end, when I’ve found a new horizon?!
