Story behind the song
This song is a description of the personal struggle the authors experienced of blending spiritual beliefs with the authenticity of the real world.
Lyrics
I was searching for God, I was searching for truth
I was never satisfied as I struggled with proof
I could never make sense of a world gone insane
Though I tried and I tried, it all seemed in vain
Then something changed and I knew what to do
Gotta look at things with an eternal point of view
"Is there anything just?" as I used to complain
Does God really care? Does he know I'm in pain?
I was looking for aid, I was looking for clues
Cause this life is a test and we all got to choose
If many are called and the chosen are few
Gotta look at things with an eternal point of view
Well it took me some time to learn most of the rules
Like when I was in child I was going to school
My teacher would try to give me some help
But the things that I learned I had to learn for myself
Not everything taught turns out to be true
Gotta look at things with an eternal point of view
You can have all your wealth, all your riches and fame
You can lead your own team, be on top of your game
You got all the right moves and say all the right stuff
But no matter how much it won't ever be enough
At the end of your life when your time here is through
Gotta look at things with an eternal point of view
