Look Inside

Do you ever stop believing
In the power of the human race?
Do you ever start perceiving,
In the image in the mirror
A decided fall from grace?
It’s a product of your disconnected state
As we turn into our fathers,
As we strive to hold our deepest fears at bay
Crashing headlong into others,
Blind to consequence, blind to any other way
Simply doing what we must to make our way
Well I say…
Look inside
You will find
A hidden world of innocence and wonder
Sanctuary, boat to carry you
Across the river wide
All you ever had to do was look inside
I can hear the skeptics screaming,
«Take your guitar and your pseudo-hippy pose
Platitudes ain’t got no bearing
On the myth of my existence
Or the weight of my own woes
And the misery that only my heart knows.»
But I say…
Look inside
You will find
A hidden world of innocence and wonder
Sanctuary boat to carry you
Across the river wide
Look inside
I was lost and disenchanted
Just like you at one time
All I ever had to do was look inside
