Mortal eyes

This house seems a little smaller
These words mean a different phrase
These simple pleasures now dwindling down
and watch them fade away

This life seems a little shorter
This worlds seems more corrupt
as the people spread their daily rumors
that soon come up to fill the cup

this world now seems a little dimmer 
Just like the dream we had
to hold on to the key and the mirror
its all that we will have

Its hard enough to see the 
world beyond our mortal eyes
we cannot see it as a gift
like the way we once had tried 

But yet I stand up on my feet
I hold fast to the ground
I wont let this negative world
make my faith go down

this world now seems a little taller
as I say my prayer each night
with every word and every whisper
I'll make it through my fright

This world can be a better place
if you look through different eyes
though falling, there is good out there
just wipe away you're cries.
