lyrics

Take a look at magic in my eyes
stop and try to read between the lines

I walk to find
A magic in my eyes
I care, then throw
Care to the skies

I feed the small
And wounded bird
He grew and grew,
Wings spanned the room

No longer cupped
In my open palm
A ravens claws
Ah Oh Oh

Tore at my eyes
Leaving me blind

I left the room and roamed the desert
Met an old man selling time in a jar
He told me a story of his life gone by
When he was young, strong and faithful
He’d been called the Wandering Jew
So many miles under his heels

He said in every song that there is a tail
In every tale there is a meaning
All you have to do is read between the lines
Close your eyes and the picture becomes clear
Now all you need to do is find the words
All you have to do is read between the lines

I learned from the plants, how to bend
A man so brittle, can only break
Only when you have truly given
Can you learn how to truly take

A muse strikes from behind
In these arid, barren wilds
My life was music
Music from the skies

I learned how to grow wings
Time taught me how to fly
I swooped and I soared
Climbed higher, so high

I cried for the Moon
And I reached for the Sun
Until I was burned
And fell to where I'd begun

As he took me by the hand,
I looked below to see
The distant Oh desert sand,
And music flows over me

Now I knew just what it was
He’d been trying to tell me
And so I closed my eyes,
You don’t need those to see

Look through my eyes
Can you learn
Look through my eyes
How to truly take
Look through my eyes
A man so brittle
Look through my eyes
Can only break
