CLOSE YOUR EYES

YOU’RE SEEING TOO MUCH

I’VE SEEN WHAT YOU’VE SEEN

AND I’VE DREAMED BETTER DREAMS

ALTHOUGH LIFE IS OF DISCERN

TOMORROWS ARE LIFES CONCERN

IN YOUR EYES ARE THE ALIBI’S

STORIES OF ANOTHER VIEW

LIFE STYLES WITH NO CLUE

CLOSE YOUR EYES

AT FIRST THE DARK YOU’LL ONLY SEE

AS YOU RELAX, YOU CAN FEEL WHAT I’M FEELING IN ME

SOME LIGHT WILL SOON APPEAR

AS THOUGHTS BECOME ABSOLUTE, AND VERY CLEAR

YOUR EXPERIENCES BEGIN TO GATHER

AS YOUR DREAMS BEGIN

YOU WILL HESITATE OPENING YOUR EYES

I SEE WHAT YOU’RE SEEING  

YOU’RE SEEING WHAT I’VE SEEN

AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE

LIFE IS NOT JUST ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE SEEING

LIFE IS ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE BEING

IS IT LIFE ABOUT YOU

IS IT LIFE ABOUT ME

OR SEEING WHAT WE’RE SEEING THAT SETS US FREE

WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES

WHEN YOU BELIEVE

EVERYTHING CHANGES IN THAT LITTLE WORLD

AND NOTHING CHANGES IN THE BIG WORLD

NOBODY NEEDS TO BE LIKE YOU OR I

BECAUSE IF I DON’T SEE WHAT I MUST SEE

I CAN NEVER BE ME, WHICH WILL SET MYSELF FREE

AS THE LIGHT WILL BE DARK YOU WILL SEE

AND THE DARK WILL ALWAYS WANT TO PLEASE ME
