You see the pain around here
Looking at the world
But are you gaining ground here
Looking at the world?
For the world you view
is really up to you
Is there a voice inside you
Speaking to the world?
Tune in and let it guide you
Showing you the world
For the world you prize
is merely in your eyes
You're like a sculptor paying his way
Moulding an image, breaking the clay away
Until nothing remains that doesn't belong
Nothing stains what can only be strong
Though what you see's appalling,
Never be misled
Though you hear others calling,
focus on ahead
Helping you to protect
the images you project
As you improve your vision
You can avoid collision
Instead of looking at,
you'll be living in the world
