Lyrics
God's Golden Eye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We came through the forrest
Of jealousy and greed
All our loved ones before us
Gave us everything we need
To cross that great river
Of every tear was ever cried
'till we find ourselves staring in God's golden eyes
In the desert love waited
Licking salt water from her skin
We could have been sedated
For all that we put in
We thought it was some devil
Who put the crying in goodbye
Till we found ourselves staring in
God's golden eyes
We found ourselves staring in God's golden eyes
And we did all we could do
We couldn't run from me and you
We did the best we could
No matter how hard we tried
Like babes we come whining
For some forgotten sin
Surprised to be shining
Just like diamonds in the wind
Every facet so perfect
And every cut the proper size
When we find ourselves staring in God's golden eyes
We find ourselves staring in God's golden eyes
