Lift Your Eyes

Lift your eyes from the pages you see without seeing Read the lines of our faces, the books of our being Everything, everywhere beckons you on, lift your eyes Lift your eyes from the map 'til you know where you're going 'Til you first learn to see in the cloud of unknowing Love will not lead you astray, little one, lift your eyes Lift your eyes from your feet that you've frozen in place See the road rise to meet you, the whole world awaits, lift your eyes Lift your eyes from your hands that you've clenched into fists And behold, all-believing, the blessed abyss, lift your eyes Lift your eyes from those bylaws, they bury your spirit The birds are a circus of song, can you hear it? A riot of rainbow, a riff on Rosseau, lift your eyes Lift your eyes from old photos, and stained invitations From crystals and countdowns and cold divinations Feel the here and the now, breathe it in, breathe it out, lift your eyes Lift your eyes from your feet that you've frozen in place See the road rise to meet you, the whole world awaits, lift your eyes Lift your eyes from your hands that you've clenched into fists And behold, all-believing, the blessed abyss, lift your eyes Lift your eyes from the road that they said you must travel See the infinite highways and byways unravel Love will not lead you astray, little one, lift your eyes
