Lyrics
POINT OF VIEW (Teri Wilder ©2002)
Where do you come from Where do you live
What you tryin? to get with the message you give
Who do you love Who loves you back
Are you on the defense Are you on the attack
Who do you learn from Who do you teach
When your hand is out Who do you reach
Who makes the grade Who can?t compare
When the door opens wide Who?s standing there
CHORUS
Are you high up on a mountain
Are you waiting down below for the water to flow
Are you dancing in the fountain
Where will you be when the day is through
I guess it all depends on your point of view
Where are you safe Where is the threat
Who holds the gift And who holds the debt
Who tells the story Who tells the truth
If it?s all in the plan Where is the proof
CHORUS
Are you high up on a mountain
Are you waiting down below for the water to flow
Are you dancing in the fountain
Where will you be when the day is through
I guess it all depends on your point of view
BRIDGE
Well it all comes down to where you take a stand
While the world tries to astound you
In the constant flow we all need a place to land
While the world rolls on and on around you
CHORUS
Are you high up on a mountain
Are you waiting down below for the water to flow
Are you dancing in the fountain
Where will you be when the day is through
I guess it all depends on your point of view
What will you see when the day is new
I guess it all depends on your point of view
