Caedmon`s Call Faith My Eyes Lyrics

Faith My Eyes Lyrics

As I survey the ground for ants

 Looking for a place to sit and read

 I'm reminded of the streets of my hometown

 How they're much like this concrete that's warm beneath my feet

 

 And how I'm all wrapped up in my mother's face

 With a touch of my father just up around the eyes

 And the sound of my brother's laugh

 But more wrapped up in what binds our ever distant lives

 

 But if I must go

 Things I trust will be better off without me

 But I don't want to know

 Life is better off a mystery

 

 So keep'em coming these lines on the road

 And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load

 And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise

 And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes

 

 Hometown weather is on TV

 I imagine the lives of the people living there

 And I'm curious if they imagine me

 Cause they just wanna leave; I wish that I could stay

 

 And to visit places from my past

 But only for an hour or so

 Which is long enough to smell the air

 To tell the tale and find the door

 

 But I get turned around

 I mistake some happiness for blessing

 But I'm blessed as the poor

 Still I judge success by how I'm dressing

 

 So I'll sing a song of my hometown

 I'll breathe the air and walk the streets

 Maybe find a place to sit and read

 And the ants are welcome company

 

 And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes.

 And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes.
