about

This is a song about how what we see with our young eyes shapes who we become ... and all that we have to overcome. This was the first song Mark and Eric wrote together.

lyrics

Young Eyes
(©2002 Anders/O'Bitz)

Lookin' back on the early years
Not seeing much at all
Wondering if I could make it clear
No …

She was a real beauty then
Seemed so sure of it all
And like a real superman
Seemed he never would fall

With my young and straining eyes
I was looking out to find
All there was that was mine
Fearing the loss
So much of what I've had
To overcome

Settled into their raising ways
He was rarely at home
When he was it's a workin' day
Oh …

She did her best to keep order then
There's too many that's all
Well we all had our time demands
No, never enough

With my young and straining eyes
I was looking out to find
All there was that was mine
Fearing the loss
So much of what I've had
To overcome

Am I lookin' back in vain
No not at all
I see now they weren't the same
As what I saw
As what I saw

With my young and straining eyes
I was looking out to find
All there was that was mine
Fearing the loss
So much of what I've had
To overcome
So much of what I've had
To overcome
