Eye world


In between a place
and another place
This is where

Human selected
Who

This or that or those or one or the other
What

Before, before later or later
When

Prior conditions that led to it
Why

Methods used to make it happen
How

We are the change we see in the world
Another pair of eyes
Another way to see
Another way to fix this

In between a way
and another way
How we made it good

It took us all then, like now

What did we do to make it happen?
Be nice and do good
All the time
That's pretty much it.

We are the change we see in the world
Another pair of eyes
Another way to see
Another way to fix this

New way


See it form
See it appear

That this thing we thought through is here
doubt just disappeared
throughout all the years
the whole world was lying

going on knowing
nothing but the old way
now we create
a new way to go by

owning up
harder than fighting for
to heal the horror
to use the mind for peace

Sowing seeds easy
to bring plant from sun
& moist soil
not so simple

going on knowing
nothing but the old way
now we create
a new way to go by

Put the path where we pave
Share the reward and the blame

Harvest is soon
we worked to make food
bitter or sweet
it's our fruit to eat

Incrementally


When things ease on
and days go by
years can fly
and time is gone

Incrementally
it can really be

From black to white
through shades of gray
We can look back on life
with a grenade of regret

& ask "Just how bad will I let this get?"
So much to adjust
where do I even start?

Well...

Believe in the heart
The crutches will bust
& ask "Just how good will I get this yet?"

Pervade and reset
The Sun asks with morning light,
"What amazing things are you doing today?"
Let the sun bask in what you ignite

Incrementally
it can really be

A new planet you're on
because you made it better by
choosing not to forget or lie
to yourself, and not shade your eyes when you become the dawn
