"My Eyes Lay Open" (c) 2017, 2018 novacadian

Posting this old tune of mine here for @hendrix22's consideration with his new Steem Band idea. No guitar break, no background harmonies, just the bare bones tune recorded on my phone when an opportunity presented itself to borrow my daughter's guitar during a visit today.

Hope you like its message, at least. 😎

Lyrics:

My eyes lay open to the fact we will be leaving,
As they look round,
Through the distance that we came.

They gaze aloft to the heavens in their reeling,
Like stars in motion,
Things don't remain the same.

Heard the laughter of a hundred thousand ages ringing through me.
Heard the crying of a hundred thousand sages who somehow knew me.
They somehow knew me.

Hear the magic of the clear and flowing river,
Sparkling water,
Nature's giver.

Taste the precious food which Mother Earth supplies,
And know the line,
It's up to us to draw.

Heard the crying of a hundred thousand ages ringing through me.
Heard the laughter of a hundred thousand sages who somehow knew me.
They somehow knew me.

My eyes lay open to the fact we will be leaving,
As they look round,
Through the distance that we came.

They gaze aloft to the heavens in their reeling,
Like stars in motion,
Things don't remain the same.
