Listen With Your Eyes

intro
Come hear and listen with your eyes come hear and listen
Listen with your eyes they’re the windows to your soul.
Prize them open wide see the music in your world.
verse 1
Feet on the ground, head in the clouds
doubts at the back of your mind.
Long in the tooth, stuck in your ways
are you scared of what you might find
Words in your mouth, a kick in the teeth
and voices in your head.
A fork in your tongue, bites on your lips
for the things you wish you had said.
bridge
Why can’t they hear,
why can’t they see.
The deafend posts and the blinded bats
are sat glued to their t.v.’s
I’ve looked and I’ve learned
and this is what I’ve heard.
chorus
Listen with your eyes they’re the windows to your soul.
Prize them open wide see the music in your world.
Beat a different path, feel the pulse of distant drums.
Start to hum a different tune and the world will sing with you.
verse 2
A pain in the neck, thorns in your side
a cat that’s got your tongue.
Chasing your tail and running scared
now you’re not so young
A chip on your shoulder, the world at your feet
short sight or seen it all ?
Depends on how you view your glass
half empty or half full.
