Huey Lewis & The News — Forest for the Trees

[Verse 1] When you're a young man, down and out You really need someone to help you out It looks like life or death is your only choice It's really hard to see The forest for the trees The forest for the trees [Verse 2] And when you get angry and everything's black or white You should know that it isn't that simple, no one's always right You know that your life it worth living You gotta start taking if no one else is giving And if you're not afraid to open your eyes You may be pleasantly surprised Things are never as bad as they seem You just gotta learn to see The forest for the trees Forest for the trees You've gotta learn to see [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] If you need somebody, tell them please If you want someone, get up off your knees You know that your life is worth living You gotta start taking if no one else is giving And if you're not afraid to open your eyes You may be pleasantly surprised Things are never as bad as they seem You just gotta learn to see The forest for the trees Forest for the trees You've gotta learn to see [Outro] (Forest for the trees) You've just gotta learn to see (Forest for the trees) Gotta learn to see (Forest for the trees)
