We're all watching the same show with different glasses Each pair constantly changing with the light through them passes Born with a fresh pair, brand new, We don't always get to choose what our glasses do Others will bend them, straighten them, Sometimes polish, or even break them And once changed they can never go back Just wabi-sabi your best to Kintsugi the crack We'll forget that our glasses look differently, And others might not agree with what we see So try to try on other's glasses too, And glimpse the world as others do You might see a dent and say, "Hey that's like mine! We're not so different you and I" All seeing something different watching the same show, We all feel the same things about the lives only we know

A Spectacle of Spectacles
We're all watching the same show with different glasses Each pair constantly changing with the light through them passes Born with a fresh pair, brand new, We don't always get to choose what our glasses do Others will bend them, straighten them, Sometimes polish, or even break them And once changed they can never go back Just wabi-sabi your best to Kintsugi the crack We'll forget that our glasses look differently, And others might not agree with what we see So try to try on other's glasses too, And glimpse the world as others do You might see a dent and say, "Hey that's like mine! We're not so different you and I" All seeing something different watching the same show, We all feel the same things about the lives only we know
Inspired by this quote: "That's one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they'll sing it back to you for 85,000 different reasons." - Dave Grohl
