Open your eyes
Look up to the skies
and see
Can’t keep my eyes from the circling sky
Flying not yet quite the notion
Look up, look down, all around
Is the truth really there?
Or is it right under our hair?
For all we know it’s been there all the time
Life is all around
Why you lookin’ down?
Life is all around
So look up, look up
Never looking down,
I’m just in awe of what’s in front of me
Can’t keep my mind from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted,
just an earth-bound misfit, I
love, I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
love, I don’t like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
My heart going boom, boom, boom –
Son, he said, grab your things
I’ve come to take you home
I wander through fiction to look for the truth –
Buried beneath all the lies –
And I stood at a distance to feel who you are –
Hiding myself in your eyes
