Wide Eyes
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.
Oh some evil spirit
Oh some evil this way comes
They told me how they fear it
Now they're placing it on their tongues
Oh to see it with my own eyes
No food no water for the better part of ten months
Quietly he sat between the folds of a tree trunk
Oh to see it with my own eyes
All the man of faith and men of science had their questions
Could it ever be on earth as it is in heaven?
