If I Could See the World lyrics
by Trey Anastasio
Sleepwalking through these times
My penance for a life of crimes
But somewhere beyond the alibis
There's aā
worldā
of beauty outsideā
my mind
I've been trying to debateā
my way out of reality
To explain and justify
The whispers fromātheāvoiceāinside
Now I'm driftingāon a changingātide
I hate the drowning but I love the dives
Then judgement day arrives
Plotting all day, what am I gonna do?
How am I gonna do it?
So if you've got moral clarity
You're not in deep enough
It took me a long time to admit defeat
When I lose, I win
When I let go, I learn
And you never know where help is gonna come from
Sleepwalking through these times
Now the fall is over, so I'll begin the climb
Now I see the world through open eyes
A world of beauty outside of my mind
I can see the world through open eyes
The world of beauty outside of my mind
I can see the world through open eyes
So shout it from the mountainside
I can see the world through open eyes
The world of beauty outside of my mind
