  All This Beauty

  
  

  

  
  

  “All this beauty;
  You might have to close your eyes
  And slowly open wide
  All this beauty;
  We traveled all night
  We drank the ocean dry
  And watched the sun rise…
  
  You can ask about it
  But nobody knows the way
  No bread-crumb trail
  To follow through your days
  It takes an axe sometimes
  A feather in the sunshine
  And bad weather
  It’s a matter of getting deeper in
  Anyway you can
  
  All this beauty;
  You might have to close your eyes
  And slowly open wide
  All this beauty;
  We traveled all night
  We drank the ocean dry
  And watched the sun rise…
  
  I can see you’re new, awake
  Let me assure you, friend
  Every day is ice cream and chocolate cake
  And what you make of it
  Let me just say
  You get what you take
  From it, so be amazed
  Whenever you stop…
  You gotta be brave.
  
  All this beauty;
  You might have to close your eyes
  And slowly open wide (all this beauty)
  And watch the sun rise.”
