One Look Away

I traveled to the North Where Aurora light the dawn Danced among the Eskimos And joined the whales in song I wandered South To the undiscovered land The last remaining wilderness Unspoiled by hands of man You're staring right through Like my heart is made of glass That's all I am to you A shadow that you pass I journeyed to the East Arms wide to the rising sun To the shrines of soul & spirit Where head & heart are one I've seen the West Where science rules the day And Gods of awe & wonder Have withered & gone away You're staring right through Like my heart is made of glass But what am I to you ? Some clown who makes you laugh Can't you see this is flesh & bone Though my heart is made of clay As sure as I'm alone I'm just one look away I've renamed this earth In search of "deeper" things Always hoping for a meaning For the peace that wisdom brings No sun so hot No mountain of ice so cold No distant faith or dream Can ever fill the hole It's always been right here All the reason that I need You thawed this frozen heart of mine When you caused the rock to bleed But will you tell me what good is love If I can't even say the word Without it life is mute Like a song that goes unheard And you're staring right through Like my heart is made of glass Is that all I am to you ? I'm just too afarid to ask You could shape these hands of stone And mold this heart of clay As sure as I'm alone I'm just one look away
