(LOVE OPEN MY EYES)
You know I don't break easily
The jagged rocks of life's reality
Have only ever scratched the surface barely
But love you have brought me the clarity
To see I had lost the tenderness of your sensitivity
And feel and express the forgiveness of your energy
And had allowed the cold river of time flowing without charity
To sweep me along without the offer of sanctuary and sanity
Love give me back the sight!
Give me back this life!
To caress the strength
You give so softly
Give me back the light!
To chase away the sorrows
Of the night of my stupidity
The winds had howled at my infidelity
And the sea in a bloody rage at my incredulity
Had battered at the very edge of me
But I don't break easily
The rains had poured in torrents
At my self imposed bitter solitary
But I don't retreat hastily
But love I cry of my shame and am guilty by jury
I had forsaken and shunned the vision of thee
And here on my bended knee
I beg your tender mercy
Please set me free!
Give me back this life!
Give me back this light!
That I had forsaken
So blindingly
Let me caress
Your tenderness
So I might fill
With your warmth and energy
I need love to lift my spirit and set it to live freely!
