lyrics

Clear-eyed child, milky-eyed elder
They feel it more clearly
Baby girl knows
from where she came.
Grandfather knows where he will go.

They sigh

it’s okay, it’s all okay
Intuition seeing the invisible,
it’s the bell’s peal

peeling away skepticism.

Gut trusting
reverberation
echoing endlessly...

But

in between
childhood and the
edge of

passage

it can hurt

Embodied knowledge lost to

the struggle embedded inside our bodies.

It can hurt

Eye of your mind, therein there lies solution upon solution
Eye of your mind, therein they lie subconsciously there creating

Grasping moments of
mercy

temporary rest in this temporary place
where nothing is built to last
Suddenly swoop like a seagul
l
born along the breeze

rising, dipping effortlessly

Trust arise as we soar on that
flight,
easing along that unseen path

its loss, well it can hurt

Yeah, it can hurt

Embodied knowledge
lost to
the struggle embedded
inside our bodies

It can hurt

Eye of your mind, therein there lies solution upon solution

We all had it we all got it we all gonna get it

Eye of your mind, therein they lie creatively, subconsciously.

Don’t gotta think, just gotta hear what’s calling me and adhere

Eye of your mind, therein there lies solution upon solution

Connect my mind to my body gotta align to the atmosphere

Right side your mind, therein they lie creatively subconsciously

There’s a vibe I can ascribe to nothin and nowhere

Oeil de votre esprit, il y a solution sur solution

Oeil de votre esprit, ils y reposent inconsciemment, créant
