Lift Your Eyes

Lift your eyes from the pages you see without seeing
Read the lines of our faces, the books of our being
Everything, everywhere beckons you on, lift your eyes

Lift your eyes from the map 'til you know where you're going
'Til you first learn to see in the cloud of unknowing
Love will not lead you astray, little one, lift your eyes

Lift your eyes from your feet that you've frozen in place
See the road rise to meet you, the whole world awaits, lift your eyes
Lift your eyes from your hands that you've clenched into fists
And behold, all-believing, the blessed abyss, lift your eyes

Lift your eyes from those bylaws, they bury your spirit
The birds are a circus of song, can your hear it?
A riot of rainbow, a riff on Rosseau, lift your eyes

Lift your eyes from old photos, and stained invitations
From crystals and countdowns and cold divinations
Feel the here and the now, breathe it in, breathe it out, lift your eyes

Lift your eyes from the road that they said you must travel
See the infinite highways and byways unravel
Love will not lead you astray, little one, lift your eyes
