You Opened Your Eyes and What Did You See
Cosmic & Spiritual 9:03
Lyrics
You opened your eyes and what did you see?
A picturesque world that's designed by me
I opened my eyes and what I did see
Was a turbulation emerging free
Baffling and graceful
Colors and shapes
Music and movements
In endless space
There's touch and warmth
Comfort and cold
Darkness and light
All uncontrolled
Explanations came around
Perturbations were profound
Strange sensations did confound
Interpretations will astound
Other beings more astute
Cast their spells that soon produced
Words of enchantment that seduced
Rules of reality introduced
You opened your ears and what did you hear ?
A melodious world that I hold dear
I opened my ears and what I did hear
Was a cacophonation loud and clear
Baffling and noisy
Resonance heard
Shadows and rhythm
Turmoil incurred
There's light and color
Movement and sound
Tensions and touch
Chaos profound
Importance placed and things ignored
Space explained and time explored
Memories grew, senses expand
Boundaries placed at your command
Language used to illustrate
Orchestrates reality
First describes and then controls
Your own actuality
You opened your mind and what did you think ?
Were sculptured thoughts that I made distinct
I opened my mind and what I did think
Was a tumultuation interlinked
Lines of power interact
When connected feels intact
Thoughts potential have impact
More intense when less abstract
Words create from introspection
Who you are from much reflection
Iron clad will with circumspection
Controls your world from your perception
You opened your mouth and what did you say?
Were incantations that I cast away
I opened my mouth and what did I say
Let there be light and law today
Baffling and random
Attended to
Heard conjurations
Order anew
There's systems and forms
Structure and shapes
Life universal
Took its place
I opened my eyes and what did I see?
A picturesque world that's designed by me
I opened my ears and what did I hear?
A melodious world that I hold dear
I opened my mind and what did I think?
Were sculptured thoughts that I made distinct
I opened my mouth and what did I say?
Were incantations that I cast away
Wondrous and random
With chaos tamed
Music and movements
That were ordained
There's touch and warmth
Comfort and cold
Darkness and light
Are all controlled
I opened my mouth and what I did say
Was: Let there be light and law today
Let there be light and law today
And Life universal took its place
Language used to illustrate
Orchestrates reality
First describes, then integrates
Your own actuality
I opened my mouth and what I did say
I opened my mouth and what I did say
LET THERE BE LIGHT!
...hmmmmmmmmmmm
(let there be light)
