"granted"

i never thought i'd be a sinner

i thought i knew the taste of hunger

i always thought i'd know better

than to take it all for granted

i couldn't imagine being all alone

nothing to share, no place to call a home

i always shut my eyes, said "i don't want to see"

i should have known

that's the life that we know

that's the life that we've been granted

if they could see it from our point of view

if we could see it from their point of view

if we'd remember the lives we've been granted

if we could see the lives we've been granted

to forgive the sins, you could be the first

before we all die from this thirst

if we don't ask ourselves what we're fighting for

it can only get worse

if we could see ourselves

see what we've done

see what we could do

if they could see it from our point of view

if we could see it from their point of view

if we'd remember the lives we've been granted

if we could see the lives we've been granted
