Dennis Robleski - A Different Lens Lyrics

When we see things in the moment
We miss a lot of history
But when we see it through a different lens
We get the whole story
Squeaky floorboards and broken siding
Busted windows and an old metal swing
There's a house on a hill that needs repair
But I can see what used to be there
There were kids rolling down the hills
And a basement that gave us chills
A boy shooting signs with his pellet gun
And practicing his World Series home run
Cause I see it through a different lens
A lens of love and memories
I see it through a different lens
And it's all so clear to me
When we see things in the moment
We miss a lot of history
But when we see it through a different lens
We get the whole story
When we see things in the moment
We miss a lot of history
But when we see it through a different lens
We get the whole story
He lost his job and has an unwelcomed guest
And now he feels like he's second best
My brother can't find what he's looking for
But there's still that one unopened door
And I see a boy who faced a mountain
But then had to learn to swim a sea
And maybe he's made a few bad choices
But I love him unconditionally
Cause I see him through a different lens
A lens of love and memories
I see him through a different lens
And it's all so clear to me
When we see things in the moment
We miss a lot of history
But when we see it through a different lens
We get the whole story
When we see things in the moment
We miss a lot of history
But when we see it through a different lens
We get the whole story
A different lens of family
A different lens of empathy
A different lens of memories
A different lens thankfully
When we see things in the moment
We miss a lot of history
But when we see it through a different lens
We get the whole story
When we see things in the moment
We miss a lot of history
So, try looking through a different lens
And get the whole story
