To See Eye To Eye
In blindness there is no peace
I walked in blindness
Upon the earth in darkness
For I only served myself.
I walked in ignorance
Upon the road of arrogance
And I never saw your stance.
I walked in judgment
Upon the law of confinement
But I never saw your detriment.
I walked in doubt
Upon a land in constant drought
Longing for a water spout.
I walked in fear
Upon a path quite unclear
That brought me to my knees.
I opened my eyes to see
Upon a wish to make a plea
And I saw your eyes full of tears.
I opened my eyes to read
Upon the look of an anguished sea
And I understood your story.
I opened my eyes to stand
Upon the will to hold your hand
And found we can both mend.
I opened my eyes to learn
Upon the light of knowledge earned
That a friend gained is a priceless return.
I walked into your path
Upon the hand of destiny’ s cast
And I entered the garden at last.
We walked into divine light
Upon which our heart soars high
Now we can see eye to eye.
