Ray Zottola Poet Lyric

The Eyes of the Soul

Preface: " To see what others see in us is the greatest learning experience  and the beginning of wisdom".


I see you and you see me
Ah how perfect it would be if you could only see you the way I do.
Although the eyes see, it is my soul that see you the way I do.

The eyes play a part as does the heart,
The ears can hear unable to make clear
Yet, it is the soul that brings this to bear.

I see you and you see me
Ah how perfect it would be if I could only see me the way you do.
Although the eyes see, it is your soul that sees me the way you do.

If we could only see ourselves through the soul of someone else
We would surely come to know how we truly are.

There is nothing so revealing as seeing oneself 
Through the eyes of the soul of someone else.
