Even When Your Eyes Are Open

there are lines around the world
they call the birds across the sea
instead of waiting for the word to come
before the thinking starts
because they know it’s where they want to be
it’s all the same if you ask me
it’s just like the way you breathe the air
that you can’t see
you don’t think about it
it’s all the same if you ask me
it’s just like the way you need the air
that you can’t see
you don’t think about it
bigger eyes make the world seem small
they show you all you need to see
uncovered as the time arrives again
the seeds are faling now
and if they’re lucky they might make a tree
it’s all the same if you ask me
it’s just like the way you breathe the air
that you can’t see
you don’t think about it
it’s all the same if you ask me
it’s just like the way you need the air
that you can’t see
you don’t think about it
even when your eyes are open
