Perspective (Extended)

[Verse 1] I sit in silence, watching My diamond-shaped pendant light It doesn’t matter how hard I try I can’t see all sides at the same time [Verse 2] In the daily newspaper controversies About how people lead their lives I sit in silence, watching— All I can do is wonder why [Chorus] We think we know it all, But the truth is a spinning mirrorball We think we’ve seen everything But life is a collection of newspaper clips So I choose to be kind and learn to be wise Isn’t it beautiful how the world opens wide Once we have perspective by our side? [Verse 3] We’re looking at a single moment A fragment locked in time But people change with every sunrise Leaving our old impressions behind [Verse 4] 'Cause all we can see is a single angle Tryna judge the whole design To understand the bigger picture We’d have to look at every diamond's side [Chorus] We think we know it all, But the truth is a spinning mirrorball We think we’ve seen everything But life is a collection of newspaper clips So I choose to be kind and learn to be wise Isn’t it beautiful how the world opens wide Once we have perspective by our side? Outro Spinning mirrorballs, newspaper clips Yeah, choose to be kind and learn to be wise Single angles, diamond sides Yeah, stop trying to judge the whole design Every sunrise, a fragment in time Yeah, leave your assumptions behind
