The Other Guy by Janet Martin © 2009 Today I was the other guy And I watched myself as I walked by, Today I got a chance to see What others saw as I watched me, Today I got a sad surprise As I stood with the other guys I received the words today, I thoughtlessly to others say, And I was so shocked to find How I was to others blind, I watched the people my life touched And wasn't sure I liked me much I got my own advice today, Could not choose to walk away, As I spoke my mind to me And told me what I thought of me, I blush a little now in shame As I hear me speak my name I used to wish that I could see Perhaps, what others thought of me, But now as with the crowd I stand I don't think I'm very grand Now I wish that I would be The way I thought that I'd see me So now when I begin to fret And others feelings I forget I'll stand out with the other guys And watch me through the others eyes, Perhaps then, I'll kinder be As I see what others see, Lord, please make a kinder me And help me see what others see |
