rose-colored glasses
[Verse 1: Sam Bowman]
Guess I'm just jaded, guess I'm just numb
Guess I'm just waiting for the light of morning to come
Guess I'm just looking for hope that'll make my stone heart sing
Watch for tomorrow to see what it brings
In rose-colored glasses, I can't see a thing
[Chorus: Sam Bowman]
Tell me there's more, tell me there's so much more than hollow-hearted
Happy thoughts and clever quotes to cling to
Show me there's more, show me there's hope in all the darkness
My rose-colored glasses can't see through
They tell me "be positive," as if that'll help
I say I'm an optimist but I'm fooling myself
Show me Your promises, show me we win
'Cause wearing these glasses, I can't see a thing
In rose-colored glasses, I can't see a thing
[Spoken: Sam Bowman]
For the one who sows to his own flesh
Will from the flesh reap corruption
But the one who sows to the Spirit
Will from the Spirit reap eternal life
[Verse 2: Ben Lawrence]
Guess being human is all that it took
To learn life's an ocean and it goes down way deeper than it looks
Guess that I know that the eventide isn't as long as it seems
But I doubt that tomorrow will help anything
'Cause in rose-colored glasses, I can't see a thing
[Spoken: Sam Bowman]
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked
For whatever one sows, that will he also reap
[Bridge: Sam Bowman]
And that's where I am when a gentle voice says
"Don't become weary, you'll heal in due season"
Drowning the panic inside of my head
"Don't become weary and keep on believing"
[Chorus: Sam Bowman & Ben Lawrence]
There's more, believe that there's something more than hollow-hearted
Happy thoughts and clever quotes to cling to
Promise there's more, promise there's hope in all the darkness
My rose-colored glasses can't see through
Tell me there's more, tell me there's so much more than hollow-hearted
Happy thoughts and clever quotes to cling to
Show me there's more, show me there's hope in all the darkness
My rose-colored glasses can't see through
They tell me "be positive," as if that'll help
I say I'm an optimist but I'm fooling myself
Show me Your promises, show me we win
'Cause wearing these glasses, I can't see a thing
[Outro: Sam Bowman]
In rose-colored glasses, I can't see a thing
In rose-colored glasses, I can't see a thing
