I Need Perspective


Ooh yeah

Sing it with me


I complain the food’s not so great around

Someone’s got no meal to be found

I complain how much flights cost

Someone’s got no ride or bus


I say my friends don’t call enough

Someone’s all alone and stuck

I hear my neighbor’s chimes at night

Someone’s running for their life


No real problems, I just need perspective

Ooh, I’ve got no real problems, I just need perspective

Out of proportion, out of perspective

Ooh, I’ve got no real problems, I just need perspective


I complain about the work out back

Someone’s got no place like that

I complain sex don’t feel right

Someone’s praying for one night


I say I still get sad sometimes

Someone’s fighting to survive

I complain my house feels way too small

Someone’s got no home at all


No real problems, I just need perspective

Ooh, I’ve got no real problems, I just need perspective

Out of proportion, out of perspective

Ooh, I’ve got no real problems, I just need perspective


How grateful could I be

If I could truly see

One who'd trade all they have

For what I have right here with me


No real problems, I just need perspective

(need perspective)

Ooh, I’ve got no real problems, I just need perspective

(need perspective)

Out of proportion, out of perspective

(out of perspective)

Ooh, I’ve got no real problems


When I pray, a voice in me

Says, "Look around just see"

No real problems I just need perspective
