Sean Stack - New Eyes lyrics

[Intro: Jason Chu] Face [Verse 1: Jason Chu] New eyes that look at the world in new ways New eyes make contact, blue, green and grey New eyes I realized I never knew When you realized feelings you trapped inside o' you New eyes that see the respect you earned New eyes that shaped by the lessons you learned New eyes attract new guys and new games And tonight those eyes will be filled with new gazes New eyes that thrill the first minute you saw World through new lashes, no chains involved New eyes insist you're taken serious New eyes fill with confidence and trust New life written with the pa**age of time New eyes that gleam with color that won't die Who knew I'd see such beauty and love Through eyes that combine perfection And flaws [Chorus: Ruth Cho] I may not be what you think As standard beauty But I love my face, my eyes And body (and body) [Verse 2: Jason Chu] Those eyes were once made middle school jokes Those eyes are stories of our kinfolk Those eyes are dark but glow in sunlight Our people been hurt but still we gon' fight Those eyes contain five thousand years of pride Those eyes saw dyin' stars in old skies Those eyes are shy but those eyes are kind Those eyes are so wise, those eyes are like mine Those eyes speak of turnin' the other cheek Those eyes turned down so they couldn't see you weep They teased you because those eyes are too thin Synonymous with cheap or prostitute skin Those eyes are me, those eyes are family Those eyes are ID of your identity Those eyes are not weak, those eyes are not wrong Those eyes are holy, those eyes are from God [Chorus: Ruth Cho] I may not be what you think As standard beauty But I love my face, my eyes And body (and body) [Verse 3: Jason Chu] What's the price of confidence What the cost to be happy in your own skin Not my place to question But do you see a stranger when the mirror is reflectin'? You said I'd never understand The pressure from magazine covers Asian mothers, and men Whether tan, bleached, or blonde We remix our colors like we cover pop songs In a bottle how we battle all the barriers, right? Some drink, some color their hair ev'ry night Some try to stand out, some try to act white Found music, but I never been the stereotype New eyes break old lies New skin needs new wine New highs and new vibes come through With new life, second coming like Christ You told me that therapy Taught you so much about our parents We got a chance to reset the path Watch our generation bring the future to the past [Chorus: Ruth Cho] I may not be what you think As standard beauty But I love my face, my eyes And body (and body) I may not be what you think As standard beauty But I love my face, my eyes And body
