I think our eyes play tricks on us. Am I really seeing her with bruises? Am I really seeing that man sleeping on the street? Am I really seeing her arms marked like tally marks on a test? I think our eyes play tricks on us. Or am really hearing silence in the family home that should be filled with laughter. Or am I really seeing the kid at school wearing the same things over & over? No. I don't think our eyes play tricks on us. I think our eyes see the truth of our world.

I Think Our Eyes Play Tricks On Us
I think our eyes play tricks on us. Am I really seeing her with bruises? Am I really seeing that man sleeping on the street? Am I really seeing her arms marked like tally marks on a test? I think our eyes play tricks on us. Or am really hearing silence in the family home that should be filled with laughter. Or am I really seeing the kid at school wearing the same things over & over? No. I don't think our eyes play tricks on us. I think our eyes see the truth of our world.
