Look Into Your Eyes

Have you ever seen an angel
Have you ever seen the sky
In the middle of the night
When the stars shine bright
Have you ever felt the pain
Of a life gone slain
Of a family torn
Apart by one
"Chorus"
Just open up your eyes
And see what you find
You never really know
Until you try
To see beyond the scars
To see beyond the lies
Just look into your eyes
And see what you find


You're drunk and you stumble
You fall to the ground
Get picked up by the cops
And they turn you around
And place you In jail
Where you belong
But you can change
You can change
"Chorus"
Just open up your eyes
And see what you find
You never really know
Until you try
To see beyond the scars
To see beyond the lies
Just look into your eyes
And see what you find


All this time you've been given
And you still don't change
What are you missing
In your messed up brain
Do you see your family crying
Do you hear your sons scream
Look at all that pain
And think about what you see
"Chorus"
Just open up your eyes
And see what you find
You never really know
Until you try
To see beyond the scars
To see beyond the lies
Just look into your eyes
And see what you find
Just look into your eyes
And see what you find

What can I say that I haven't already said about your songwriting?only that I'm a fan and always read and comment when you write something good,which is most of the time.you and James "LookinGlass" are two of my favorite writers on this site.But,I've got a new muse,so I'll be writing some new ones soon!I know you'll watch for them and I know you'll tell me what you think.I think this last one;Look Into Your Eyes is top notch!when I can hear a melody,in my head,by just reading lyrics,it's a great tune,in my eyes.Another home run,hit out of the park!

Thank you Doug it means a lot to hear or rather read what you said your comments and appreciation of my work inspires me to keep writing. If it wasn't for you and a few other people I'm not sure I would still be writing right now. It's tough sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time I feel like my lyrics are running in circles but not really going anywhere. I'm searching for something different for something more that's why I write so much cause I know that somewhere inside of me is a song waiting to come out and I'm gonna keep writing until I find that song.

John,I feel your frustration and can only say that writing is good for many reasons.of course,we all like to be acknowledged and appreciated.when someone says they like one of my posts,it really make me feel good.it is difficult to feel you're "doing anything" when your writing gets next to no replies.and it's true,you do sometimes repeat yourself and may one day "boil down a few of them" to make that great song that you touch on,but never completely get in the one Masterpiece you're looking for.don't despair,I try to keep you honest with heart felt criticism.I know exactly what you mean,but I think you have written a few Classics,I know I've told that to you in the past.I don't patronize you,if I like it, I tell you so.if I don't, I remain silent,but that in itself is a critique.I DO READ everything you post.if it's good,I say so.if it's great I let you know.if it's a Masterpiece,I steal it and post it elsewhere as my own!Seriously,John,you would be missed if you left this site.

Sometime ago I wrote a song called "Have you Seen The Child Who's Been On The Run?",
it seems to cross lines with this one of yours.
It is sad with a certain amount of anger too. Inevitably necessary as you are the witness.
Excellent as always.
