about

lamenting the loss of beauty in the world

lyrics

Naked Eye
©2002 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

Beauty calls and nobody hears
Trapped inside a snow globe
Beauty's whisper falls on deaf ears
Rushing past in slo-mo

CHORUS
Or so it seems
Where does the answer lie
Does something forgotten just die
Or retreat from the NAKED EYE

In the bustle of the world
Puzzle pieces scatter
On the wind their pictures unfurl
Til they're lost to matter

CHORUS

Beauty falls and nobody wonders why
Things fall apart

Beauty holds the key to a heart
And a sense of belonging
For a moment the clouds swiftly part
And erase all longing

CHORUS
Or so it seems
Only in the dreams can the blind
Finally see all that's hidden and lost
To the NAKED EYE
