Under The Eye

When I was alone, all on my own I'd sit myself down and take a look around I'd think about my life, all the trouble and strife And the things which went wrong and lasted so long When I was feeling bad, maybe lonely and sad I'd put my hands to my head and wonder where life led. And where I was going to when my journey was through But meanwhile up high I was always under the Eye. The mystery of love, the push and the shove Of friendship betrayed, of plans I mislaid, The oceans I crossed, the things that I lost And the world in my hand as dreams turned to sand. All the agony of pride of emotion that died Like a statue of stone, I thought I was all alone Oh but that was just a lie, darkness magnified, 'Cause somewhere up high, I was always under the eye. I shouldered my load, then I took off down the road I drove in my car, and I played my guitar, mon. I crashed in a plane, I really damaged my brain And then I layed in my bed with all this music in my head. The years have rolled by, I've watched the past die But feelings remained like mercy much strained. Like a seed left unsown, like a leaf that was blown Like a man who was blind, there was a lock on my mind. Then a man came to me and he held out the key And the lock hinge was blown, I had never been alone Yeah, that ws just a lie, darkness magnified And though I was not away, all the time my Father was there.
