Bright Eyed Boy

Southern boy from Auburn Age seventeen Moved here to California A place you had never seen Hungry for purpose Searching for meaning Bright-eyed boy Mm Singing songs 'bout Jesus In strangers' living rooms You saw the signs, but were left wonderin' If there was more to the Kingdom Hungry for purpose You were searching for meaning Bright-eyed boy Oh And sometimes I feel like You're too good for this world And sometimes I feel like You're too good for this broken world Bright-eyed boy (a-a-ah) Oh Said you have a brother You have never met before Not a new story But you couldn't handle more Like a river dam Your heart, broken beyond repair Bright-eyed boy Ooh (Ooh) Your old faith Can no longer bear the weight Of watching white men Decide a Black man's fate Silence of shepherds Beyond deafening Bright-eyed boy Ooh Sometimes I feel like You're too good for this world Sometimes I feel like You're too good for this broken world Bright-eyed boy Ooh Bright-eyed boy Ooh Maybe one day They will see the world like you do Maybe one day They will see the world like you do
