330/365 - have we eyes to see?

365 - The 2010 Edition * November 26, 2010

 

For the Musically Challenged group. Forty-oneCrush's taste in music and mine seem to be a lot alike. I've always liked Collective Soul's music, and when I saw that she had included "The World I Know" by Collective Soul - and why, I wanted to add my interpretation.. One interpretation..

 

Like all really good music, each listener brings his or her own experiences and memories to the party, and the same song, the same lyrics, will mean something slightly different to each.. There are many 'edges' - and many 'worlds below'..

 

Has our conscience shown?

Has the sweet breeze blown?

Has all the kindness gone?

Hope still lingers on.

I drink myself of newfound pity

Sitting alone in New York City

And I don't know why.

 

Are we listening

To hymns of offering?

Have we eyes to see

That love is gathering?

All the words that I've been reading

Have now started the act of bleeding

Into one..

 

So I walk up on high

And I step to the edge

To see my world below.

And I laugh at myself

As the tears roll down

Cause it's the world I know

It's the world I know...
