Story behind the song
Sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees and we need to step back and take a new look at things to really understand what's going on. We think we automatically understand what we see and hear, but sometimes it's not quite as it seems. This song is full of phrases that mean different things in different contexts. I figure those who view my life think I'm completely nuts -- I think they're right!
Lyrics
Fresh Perspective Words and Music by Michael Lewis ©2008 I was lost in thought, found myself thinking ‘bout the way I think. Sittin here in my room, but it’s Not enough room for sittin’ in. If I run, out of room, I can open the door and I’ll run outside of my room But what would my neighbors think? There he goes, You know he must be right on the brink? But (chorus) I just need some fresh perspective about the way life is going fresh perspective about the way things are I need to take my inside out And look from the outside in And get some fresh perspective right now. Is it the way I look, or the way things are looking back at me? I am not a crazy driver, but I bet I could drive you crazy. If I am full of wonder, does that somehow mean I’m wonderful? I am wondering. What do my neighbors think? There he goes again he must be right on the brink. (chorus) (Bridge) Some ‘ve got to see miracles, others want to see your college degree, but when I lost my perspectives on the floor, I found the answers to life, while searching on my knees
