Different take on the prompt

Sometimes we need a closer perspective Sometimes we need a seat at the back Sometimes we need to look really closely Other times that’s what we lack

Everything is strange from a distance Before you begin to see That people really aren’t so strange They’re just the same as you and me

Sometimes you can be too close To make the right decision You need a sense of distance To ever be forgiven

Sometimes the world is hard You just don’t understand When looking down from above You see that nothing’s really planned

Sometimes we need a closer perspective Sometimes we need a seat at the back Sometimes
