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
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 Explain Request ×
