lyrics

Show me a picture of the world through your eyes
What are the colors you have chosen for the late sky
Is there a rhythm in the soil where the roots grow
Can you hear the humming through the trees when the wind blows

I read the papers and you see the way the news runs
You could just close your eyes and wait til the end comes
But you would miss out on the offer of a new day
For as surely as this world spins we’re in for a long stay

We took for granted what we thought the simple truth was
You let your heart choose your direction like a compass would
But where the needle ought to be to point you to true North
You will have found the perfect reason to know what love is for (repeat)

Show me a picture of the world through your eyes
What are the colors you have chosen for the late sky
Is there a rhythm in the soil where the roots grow
Can you hear the humming of the trees when the wind blows
