look in my eyes you might see a dim reflection of a memory or a recollection of a day gone before then i was wise at least within my own beholdin oh the vanity of youth was golden when my way was my own but when you look me in the heart you ll see that i m changin when you look me in the heart his holiness shows cause underneath this mortal frame the lord is reigning you will see him when you look me in the heart follow my dreams fantasies that cloud my vision that tie me up in indecision about which way to go when the fantasies fade with reality again my portion father be my only fortune let my desire be your own and if my actions speak loud and my words seem to be all too human it s just that often i choose not to move with the flow of his hand but when you look me in the heart you ll see that i m changin when you look me in the heart his holiness shows cause underneath this mortal frame the lord is reigning you will see him when you look can you see him when you look me in the heart
