Lyrics

The Lens

Two yellow cardinals high in the summer sky
Sing their tune of the cosmic law as they fly
They’re valued as a cagebird and they’re denied the stars
Who hears a sacred song behind prison bars

So live your
One life in the here and now
With many more from then and yet to come
Know your beauty is forever when you see it through the lens
We’re all here to weave and to mend

Open the door now let the bird fly free
Then know that I am you and you are me

Man lift your gaze from the blood that has been spilt
You can’t build a future on a demand for guilt
Brotherhoods on the dark side you can’t escape
The call to ascension of the human race

So live your
One life in the here and now
With many more from then and yet to come
Know your beauty is forever when you see it through the lens
We’re all here to weave and to mend

Seek the truth, it will set you free
Then know that I am you and you are me

The Holy Richis held the wisdom for a few
Now the door is open, it’s there for me and you

One life in the here and now
With many more from then and yet to come
Shows your beauty is forever when you see it through the lens
We’re all here to weave and to mend

One life in the here and now
With many more from then and yet to come
Shows your beauty is forever when you see it through the lens
We’re all here to weave and to mend

Seek the truth, it will set you free
Then know that I am you and you are me

The Holy Richis held the wisdom for a few
Now the door is wide open, it’s there for me and you
