Bright Eyes

Over in my town I asked my friend Gilead Why do you look so down He looked into my eyes What happened to his bright eyes Telling me about his life He feels bombarded by the news and his distractions Of his faraway friends He longs for connection, his job is a dead end He'd like to be anywhere Bright eyes, why do you cry Everything will be alright Bright eyes, do not deny That you're stronger because of the light He packs up his clothes, standards of a light load For some sort of pilgrimage He leaves for a journey to kill out the hurting I'm sure he'll be reborn Bright eyes, why do you cry Everything will be alright Bright eyes, do not deny That you're stronger because of the light Bright eyes, reborn in the dead of night by a sacrifice Bright eyes Bright eyes, why do you cry Everything will be alright Bright eyes, do not deny That you're stronger because of the light
