Sore Eyes (2001)

Verse 1

From a child's eyes

Life is so innocent

Love and adventure

Living each day with an open heart

There was no way to know

How easily my world

Could fall in to disarray

Bridge

For now I’m hopeless

Taken of all desire

Left hopeless

Taken in by the fire

Left hopeless

Near sighted and dazed

Left hopeless

Can’t break from out of these chains

Chorus

Can you heal these sore eyes?

Give sight to those who no longer see?

I'll close my eyes forever

If you take me to a place

Where I’ll find peace

Verse 2

Now I’m older

The worlds much colder than it used to be

My eyes are weary

As a witness to tragedies

That burdens the misguided and despaired

Who are longing for years of comfort

The words of a wise man

"If having faith were so easy

Then everyone would be a believer"

But I’m still searching

For silver linings inside these empty clouds

Bridge

For now I’m hopeless

Taken of all desire

Left hopeless

Taken in by the fire

Left hopeless

Near sighted and dazed

Left hopeless

Can’t break from out of these chains

Chorus

Can you heal these sore eyes?

Give sight to those who no longer see?

I'll close my eyes forever

If you take me to a place

Where I’ll find peace

Bridge

I want my spirit to be free

So I can believe again

As If I were a child

With a mentality

That anything is possible

And there is no need to wait for signs

That love will deliver me

Chorus

Can you heal these sore eyes?

Give sight to those who no longer see?

I'll close my eyes forever

If you take me to a place

Where I’ll find peace
