Ancient Eyes // lyrics : emay

     “There are three things you can change: What you see, How you perceive it, and what you do next” – C. May 

    The lyrics from this song remind of times we cry when things are changing for the better –  finally able to think about the past you’re leaving with a new lens, one of hope and purposeful intent.

 

Patiently, actively, we make the world we know

Through our actions, our opinions, and what we choose show 

Wh were what we drew

A need for peace, our need to incorporate the truth

 

It drew water from your ancient eyes

Drew water from the stormy skies

It drew water from your ancient eyes

To know it would be fine

            It would be fine alright

            It will be fine

                        Just stay with me tonight

 

Few things change with passing of the days

But you’re looking so differently, the shape of your face

And maybe the thorns and the spurs will come out fine

Leave the skin bare, untorn, no inverse lines

 

            We held our dreams up for all to see

            Let the judging begin and fall on us

            Though apathy is just not like me,

            Its paranoia is just  falling all over us 

 

But there's nothing watching you, there’s nothing watching me,

there’s nothing coming to get us in this big, bad, world, nothing out for us you see

It’s just you and me and everyone we meet –

but we’re all free to take everything, but we don't leave enough you see

Still, we take as many as you want, As many as you need,

I trust you make your own decision, trust you not to be so full of greed.

           

It drew water from your ancient eyes

Drew water from the stormy skies

It drew water from your ancient eyes

    To know that it would be fine

    It will be fine alright

    It will be fine

    Just stay with me tonight
