It's all Within



Beyond the Eyes

Our eyes, look see who we are
Seeing ourselves, through our own eyes
Somewhere out there, is a view is too far.
A mistaken identity, of the unwise.

Your mind can't see you, with open eyes
See if you're ugly, or beautiful either
See the color of your own skin, or where God resides
Try seeing it in others..... defines it neither

Close your eyes, to see who you are.
Find yourself, in your own mind
It's not a matter of how you fit in
You're just one of a human kind
When you look within.

After you do.. peace it can bring]
If only everyone else
would just do the same thing

The Rabbit Hole

It seems. I fall down that White Rabbit's hole.
In loss of happiness, an unwanted goal
So I tell myself it doesn't matter
Until I'm greeted by the Mad Hatter,
And the Cheshire Cat smiles at me.
Directs me to a place ...I don't want to be
Where I'm forced to confront the hidden parts
And prepare myself for the Queen of Hearts
.
It's a hard pill to swallow....
The meaning of becoming too tall
Or just another way of becoming too small
And the truer meaning of being too old
Stops the journey, and puts you on hold.

So through a looking glass, I roam
Until happiness finds me
So I can find my way home.

You're gonna miss me....(song)

I got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say

When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

On reading your post, a song resurfaced from the past. I hope you don't mind my posting the lyrics -

'Find My Way Home' - Jon & Vangelis

You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin?
You ask me where did I fall
I'll say I can't tell you when

But if my spirit is lost
How will I find what is near
Don't question, I'm not alone
Somehow I'll find my way home

My sun shall rise in the east
So shall my heart be at peace
And if you're asking me when
I'll say it starts at the end

You know your will to be free
Is matched with love secretly
And don't go alter your prayer
Somehow you find you are there

Your friend is close by your side
And speaks in far ancient tongues
A season's wish will come true
All seasons begin with you

One world we all come from
One world we melt into one
Just hold my hand and we're there
Somehow we're going somewhere
Somehow we're going somewhere

You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin
You ask me where did I fall
I'll say I can't tell you when

But if my spirit is strong
I know it can't be long
No question, I'm not alone
Somehow I'll find my way home
Somehow I'll find my way home
Somehow I'll find my way home
Somehow I'll find my way home

Sorry, sometimes it's hard to make out the lyrics [specifically third line/4th verse] but will leave as is as because the alternative 'And talk will alter your prayer' seems out of context.
