[Verse 1]
Well I'd like to figure out where we stand before darkness falls
And I'd like to figure out before too late before hope is lost
Cause the sun that's shining on my face is shining down on you
And the fruit that gives me strength to live is giving you strength too
Can we find a way to find a compromise, though we don't see eye to eye
Eye to eye

[Verse 2]
Well I'd like to figure out a way to leave a troubled past behind
To forget those angry words and wars we fought across the battle lines
Cause tomorrow we could find the road to peace for you and me
And our children in their innocence will follow what they see
Oh we've got to find a way to live our lives, though we don't see eye to eye

[Chorus]
Oh how easy it would be to close the door and walk away
I can't walk out when I believe
You're my brother and we owe it to each other
We've got to try though we don't see eye to eye
Eye to eye

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Oh how easy it would be to close the door and walk away
I can't walk out when I believe
You're my brother and we owe it to each other
We've got to try though we don't see eye to eye
Eye to eye

[Hook]
Eye to eye
Well I'd like to find a way
Though we don't see eye to eye
Eye to eye
Though we don't see eye to eye

[Outro]
Well I'd like to figure out where we stand before darkness falls

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
