The Gathering Field - Look Inside lyrics

Do you ever stop believing

in the power of the human race?

Do you ever start perceiving,

in the image in the mirror

a decided fall from grace?

It's a product of your disconnected state

As we turn into our fathers,

as we strive to hold our deepest fears at bay

Crashing headlong into others,

blind to consequence, blind to any other way

Simply doing what we must to make our way

Well I say

Look inside

You will find

A hidden world of innocence and wonder

Sanctuary, boat to carry you

Across the river wide

All you ever had to do was look inside

I can hear the skeptics screaming,

"Take your guitar and your pseudo-hippy pose

Platitudes ain't got no bearing

on the myth of my existence

Or the weight of my own woes

And the misery that only my heart knows."

But I say

Look inside

You will find

A hidden world of innocence and wonder

Sanctuary boat to carry you

Across the river wide

Look inside

I was lost and disenchanted

Just like you at one time

All I ever had to do was look inside
