Something More

Beyond my eyes can see,

There must be something more

Beneath the surface rush of things

There’s something else in store

Beyond this daily strife, there must be more to life

An underlying rhyme in things

I must have known before



Before the seasons changed,

Before I grew too wise

I watched the passing clouds

In search of meaning in the skies



I read between the lines

But the verses lost their rhymes

And though the truth has long been told,

I’m still waiting for a sign



Where are You, You whom I seek to know?

Are you the one I’m looking for?

Show your face

Why don’t you break your silence now?

Take the stormy seas within me

Name these shadows trapped inside me

Claim this lost and frightened child you see

In me



Beyond my eyes can see,

There must be something more

Beneath the surface rush of things

There’s something else in store

Beyond this daily strife, there must be more to life

An underlying rhyme in things

I must have known before



I bear my private pains

I go the extra mile

Will you be there beyond this road,

To meet me with your smile?

Before my very eyes you’ll shed your last disguise

And then I’ll realize I need nothing more

That the face I’ll recognize
