Lyrics

My Perspective
Frank Blades

[verse]
Too many people on display,
Too many people being played; betrayed.
There's a debt of kindness,
Will it ever be repaid?

[verse]
Too many people on parade,
Too many people are the prey; afraid.
There's a cloud of blindness,
As we live this masquerade.

[chorus]
I ain’t standing on a soapbox,
Not tryin' to change your mind,
I found that to be pretty ineffective,
I ain’t preaching from the pulpit,
Ain't got no axe to grind,
This place is not what I expected,
But this is the world,
From my perspective,
From my perspective,
This is the world from my perspective.

[verse]
Too many changes being made,
Too many promises unsaid, downgrade,
There's a star of brightness,
And we cannot let it fade.

[chorus]
I ain’t standing on a soapbox,
Not tryin' to change your mind,
I found that to be pretty ineffective,
I ain’t preaching from the pulpit,
Ain't got no axe to grind,
This place is not what I expected,
But this is the world,
From my perspective,
From my perspective,
This is the world from my perspective.

[bridge]
I'm told to join the conversation,
I’m told to link and share with friends,
I’m told to Broadcast my opinion,
And make sure it trends.

[chorus]
But I ain’t standing on a soapbox,
Not tryin' to change your mind,
I found that to be pretty ineffective,
I ain’t preaching from the pulpit,
Ain't got no axe to grind,
This place is not what I expected,
But this is the world.

[Chorus]
I ain’t standing on a soapbox,
Not tryin' to change your mind,
I found that to be pretty ineffective,
I ain’t preaching from the pulpit,
Ain't got no axe to grind,
This place is not what I expected,
But this is the world,
From my perspective
From my perspective
From my perspective
This is the world from my perspective.
