Perceptions

When you look at this life
You see economic gain and opportunity
And when we look at this world we see
All the truth of life, the love and misery
And though the world doesn't change at all
It's seen through different eyes
And when in one day it can be undone
Each day becomes a prize
Well, I guess we served our time
But our time is not enough
And we tried to see it through
Like diamond in the rough
With every layer stripped away
You realize the prize you sought
And it's the bargain of the day
Until you find out what you bought
Not quite unconscious, we try to know ourselves
We don't have much time
With your distractions, your politics, your wealth
Your life has left you blind
The sun is down, the light has broken
The end, we're going home
Everything you wanted to say
Everything you wanted to do, everything you wanted to be
You'd trade it all for one more day
The end, we're going home
We're going home, home
You waited for us now we're headed
Home, home, home
You waited for us now we're headed home
You waited for us and now we're headed
You waited for us and now we're headed
You waited for us and now we're headed home
You waited for us and now we're headed
