God's Golden Eyes

Lyrics

We came through the forrest
 Of jealousy and greed
 All our loved ones before us
 Gave us everything we need
 To cross that great river
 Of every tear was ever cried
 'till we find ourselves staring in God's golden eyes
 In the desert love waited
 Licking salt water from her skin
 We could have been sedated
 For all that we put in
 We thought it was some devil
 Who put the crying in goodbye
 Till we found ourselves staring in
 God's golden eyes
 We found ourselves staring in God's golden eyes
 And we did all we could do
 We couldn't run from me and you
 We did the best we could
 No matter how hard we tried
 Like babes we come whining
 For some forgotten sin
 Surprised to be shining
 Just like diamonds in the wind
 Every facet so perfect
 And every cut the proper size
 When we find ourselves staring in God's golden eyes
 We find ourselves staring in God's golden eyes
