Ever since I was a kid I've been
Clear eyed, clear eyed
I can't forget but I forgive,
Did you notice? Are you all right?

On the edge of memory where shapes
Take form and call to me

Some things I wish I'd never seen
Had never been, but so it is, so it is
If all I know is what I see, then certainty
Is what you are to me
Clear eyed, clear eyed

Someone came and changed the words
Left me tongue tied, tongue tied
It's not a sky without a cloud
There is no blue sky, blue sky

Beyond the past, beyond the fear
The simple act of being here

Some things I wish I'd never seen
Had never been, but so it is, so it is
If all I know is what I see
Then certainty is what you are to me
Clear eyed, clear eyed

Blind me with love, make me blind
Blind me with love, make me blind
'Cause I've seen too much, too much of this life
I have seen too much, too much of this life
I have seen too much, too much of this life
I have seen too much, too much of this life
Now I only see you, only see you
Clear eyed, clear eyed
Clear eyed, clear eyed
