I look to you and see my likeness shine in your eyes

One blink and then I’m gone again and thoughts now arise

How strange the way I see myself my shortcomings all glare

But in your eyes I’m whole again my divinity’s there

On a cloud we were resting, just biding our time

Can’t stop the reeling, and I’m all out of line

Oh mother, please, won’t you play me that song

If it’s too late to climb the mountain

Then we’ve waited too long

Can you see yourself inside my eyes

Inside my eyes

Like a mirrored reflection you show me each day

The parts of me I’ve yet to love but I try to cast away

Baby now trust me I can assure you those things I never want to be

Are the one’s I have sought to hide but now embrace reticently

On a cloud we were resting, just biding our time

Can’t stop the reeling, and I’m all out of line

Oh mother, please, won’t you play me that song

If it’s too late to climb the mountain

Then we’ve waited too long

Can you see yourself inside my eyes

Inside my eyes

My eyes are slowly turning red

They grow damp inside this watershed

But I will keep them open

Round and round and round again oh my head it plays the game

It’s trained to see inequity will each tomorrow be the same?

I long for change I swear I do

It’s just that “but” seems here to stay

If I change the way I look at things 

I fear I’ll likely lose my way

On a cloud we were resting, just biding our time

Can’t stop the reeling, and I’m all out of line

Oh mother, please, won’t you play me that song

If it’s too late to climb the mountain

Then we’ve waited too long

Can you see yourself inside my eyes

Inside my eyes
