If my eyes were a pair of lenses

If my eyes were a pair lenses
I will be able
to capture those pictures
That will show the thousands
A million stories featured

If my eyes were a pair of lenses
and with a blink of an eye
I will be able to capture the picture
A picture that tells you story
of a lifetime spent in poverty
whom you never get to see
when you are always walking in the city

If my eyes were a pair of lenses
I hope to capture all the pictures
that can make you tear

If my eyes were a pair of lenses
I hope to capture
the picture of how the light travels

If my eyes were a pair of lenses
How many pictures can I capture
At that instant whenever I want and hope and desire

How many times
These pictures
Slipped away at that instant
Becos my eye were not lenses
and my blink was not able to capture
