Proposal:
These eyes have seen
Seen the sight of the rising sun
Seen the sight of the setting sun
These eyes have been
Below and under
Above and beyond.
These eyes have
Laughed and grieved
Loved and feared
These eyes have lived
They’ve experienced life in the most pristine of ways
These eyes have lived
These eyes have seen
These eyes have felt thunder falling down from its corners
These eyes can feel
These eyes have seen
Seen the sight of you leaving my sight
Oh these eyes miss the sight of you
They still look for you in each person they meet
These eyes have seen
Seen the beauty life possesses
Seen that it all lies with the beholder
Seen that life is all you make it
These eyes have seen
The power of finding your truth
Speaking your truth
And living your truth
These eyes
