Eyes Like Mine
Eyes Like Mine: Unveiling Life's Truths Beyond Expectations
Lyrics
I ain't your expectation
I don't conform to your expectations.
And I don't dress like you
My style of dressing is different from yours.
I don't need to wear a Stetson hat
I don't need to wear a Stetson hat to be authentic.
Or cowboy boots
Nor do I require cowboy boots for validation.
I didn't have to leave
I didn't have to leave a small town to find identity.
A small town behind
Leaving a small town behind is not my story.
Or scratch my number off a population sign
I haven't resorted to erasing my presence from a population sign.
It doesn't always have to be that way
Rejecting stereotypes is not the only way to live.
The cover of a book don't have much to say
Surface appearances don't reveal much about a person.
You got a story and I got one too
We each have our unique stories.
Our chapters are different but are filled with truth to the last line
Our life experiences differ, but they are truthful to the end.
I may not look or sound like you
I may not fit your mold in appearance or speech.
Go walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes to understand my perspective.
And maybe with a little bit of time
Given time, you might comprehend my viewpoint.
You'll see through eyes like mine
Understanding will come through seeing the world through my eyes.
Don't have a Silverado
I don't own a Silverado truck.
Or dirt roads to drive it through
My life doesn't involve driving on dirt roads.
But the lessons mama taught me
I still uphold the values my mother taught me.
I still hold on to
Those lessons remain an integral part of who I am.
Yeah, you got a story and I got one too
Similarities exist in our stories despite the differences.
Our chapters are different but are filled with truth to the last line
Our life experiences are genuine until the end.
I may not look or sound like you
I may not fit your mold in appearance or speech.
Go walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes to understand my perspective.
And maybe with a little bit of time
Given time, you might comprehend my viewpoint.
You'll see through eyes like mine
Understanding will come through seeing the world through my eyes.
It doesn't always have to be that way
Rejecting stereotypes is not the only way to live.
The cover of a book don't have much to say
Surface appearances don't reveal much about a person.
You got a story and I got one too
We each have our unique stories.
Our chapters are different but are filled with truth to the last line
Our life experiences differ, but they are truthful to the end.
Oh, I may not look or sound like you
I may not fit your mold in appearance or speech.
Go walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes to understand my perspective.
And maybe with a little bit of time
Given time, you might comprehend my viewpoint.
You'll see through eyes like mine
Understanding will come through seeing the world through my eyes.
Eyes like mine
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the speaker's perspective.
Eyes like mine
Reiterating the distinctive nature of the speaker's vision.
Eyes like mine
Underscoring the individuality of the speaker's point of view.
