[Verse 1] I took the long way down your block To learn your name in passing A market bag, a paper cup A grin that kept on flashing You said, "The day ain't done yet" Like you had a secret map I tucked that spark in my chest And I kept on coming back [Pre-Chorus] If I move a little slower I can catch the small lights In the ones I used to overlook Now they pull me in right [Chorus] I want to see it, want to see it Through the eyes of the world I want to feel it, want to feel it Every boy, every girl Keep me open, keep me open Let me love where I land I want to see it, want to see it Through the eyes of the world [Verse 2] On a rainy train in Seoul A kid shared his earbuds In Lagos, on a corner stoop A laugh outlived the hurt From Lima to a laundromat From Delhi to the dock Every face held a window And I learned to stop and knock [Pre-Chorus] If I move a little slower I can catch the small lights In the ones I used to overlook Now they pull me in right [Chorus] I want to see it, want to see it Through the eyes of the world I want to feel it, want to feel it Every boy, every girl Keep me open, keep me open Let me love where I land I want to see it, want to see it Through the eyes of the world [Bridge] Not to take, just to witness Not to leave, just to stay If your hope is a small flame I'll carry it my way And when mine gets low You can borrow mine too We can build one bright road Out of all we've lived through [Final Chorus] I want to see it, want to see it Through the eyes of the world I want to feel it, want to feel it Every boy, every girl Keep me open, keep me open Let me love where I land I want to see it, want to see it Through the eyes of the world
