[Intro]
Bright lights flash, blinding the night
Chasing illusions, losing the sight
[Verse 1]
He walks in a daze, eyes on the glow
Missing the beauty that’s right below
A treasure unseen, waiting for him
Caught in a dream, chasing the whim
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, he’s searching out there in the dark
Forget the love that’s alive in his heart
[Chorus]
Blinded by the shiny new thing
He’s drifting away on a restless wing
Can't see the blessings in his hand
Lost in the chase for what he don’t understand
[Verse 2]
Reflections in mirrors, false and bright
He’s blinded by the allure of the neon light
But underneath it all, what’s real and true?
Lies in the simple, in the plain view
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, he’s searching out there in the dark
Forget the love that’s alive in his heart
[Chorus]
Blinded by the shiny new thing
He’s drifting away on a restless wing
Can't see the blessings in his hand
Lost in the chase for what he don’t understand
[Bridge]
Turn around, find what’s right behind
The golden glow has blurred his mind
Open your eyes, let the truth be shown
The greatest riches are already your own
[Outro]
Come back home to what’s real and true
See the blessings that are shining through
No more chasing illusions in vainHe's blinded by the shiny new thing
Looking for something that is right in front
Of him
Never see what he has been blessed for
You’ve got everything, in love’s sweet name
