god's golden eyes

we came through the forrest

of jealousy and greed

all our loved ones before us

gave us everything we need

to cross that great river

of every tear was ever cried

'till we find ourselves staring in god's golden eyes

in the desert love waited

licking salt water from her skin

we could have been sedated

for all that we put in

we thought it was some devil

who put the crying in goodbye

till we found ourselves staring in

god's golden eyes

we found ourselves staring in god's golden eyes

and we did all we could do

we couldn't run from me and you

we did the best we could

no matter how hard we tried

like babes we come whining

for some forgotten sin

surprised to be shining

just like diamonds in the wind

every facet so perfect

and every cut the proper size

when we find ourselves staring in god's golden eyes

we find ourselves staring in god's golden eyes
