Eyes of God

from Anytime Anywhere by Tret Fure

/

lyrics

Driven by a need for grandeur
As the world falls down around us every day
We’ve got actors in the races
We’ve got liars in the lead
We’ve got bullet holes as architecture
And wounds that always bleed
While families starve everyday
And a brother comes home in a bag
We’re rife with retribution
As if it all comes down to war
That peace is not a prophecy
But settling a score
Is our right as human beings
In the Eyes of God

I’ve got lakes all around me
But I dare not set a foot upon the shore
Pollution’s marking sorely
Across the currents of our lives
There are solutions clear and possible
But politics decide
So I dare not test the water’s depth
I dare not taste the water deep
We turn our backs on the answers
As if it all comes down to greed
If we only cared beyond the buck
We’d understand the need
To live as our lives as humans
In the Eyes of God



CHORUS: In the eyes of God
We throw that phrase out lightly
Like we possibly could understand
We dare to think we know
We would walk this earth so lightly
If only we could fathom
What’s behind the Eyes of God

So we march in boot and loud command
That this country could demand the fate of all
That a president could dictate
What is absolute and wrong
That everything is fixable
And everyone is strong

In the land of free and the home of brave
As if culture doesn’t rock the rule
We allow ourselves to follow hard
Shut off from belief
In something we should know by now
From time and war and grief
We’ve got the right to live as humans
In the Eyes of God

CHORUS:
