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
