This song talks about how we, as humans, tend to focus our lives around ourselves. However, we need to look outside of ourselves to really see what is going on around us.

"Everyday is a brand new day,"
Said the fine little guy
Who lives with one eye blind.
"I can see what I need to see."
Meets a man in a grocery stand
and he says to himself
"Boy, smells like a brewery.
A dumb drunk right in front of me.
Everyday is the same old same
and nothing changes,"
Says the little guy who sees
Only what he wants to see.

Take a walk sees a man in the park
Lying down in the dark
And his head is a nest of fleas.
And he says, "That'll never be me.
Got a house and a wife and a
car and well kept lawn
at lest that's what the neighbors see.
They see what I want them to see.
Everyday has a role to play
and things to say that
everyone expects of me.
It doesn't matter what I believe."

We're looking out with blinders on our heads it seems.
Taking time to find the real reality
Takes seeing more than me.

The little guy with one eye blind
Looks around to find
That everything begins to bleed
Life flowing out of everything
Lost his wife and his car and lawn
And it won't be long
Until he feels that he won't be
Found alive in the morning
Finding lights when we're dark inside
Checking out our finds
Takes a side that's rarely seen.
Seen only by those who see.

We're walking out with bindings on our hands and feet.
Taking time to find the real reality
Takes seeing more than me.


We're looking out with blinders on our heads it seems.
We're walking out with bindings on our hands and feet.
We're looking down that atom hole and finding strings.
Taking time to find the me inside of me
It's taking all that I can do and more it seems
More than me.
