My Eyes, This Land

My eyes, my eyes they see
Strength in lonely empty places.
This land, this land I see
Will not fold when love displaces.

My eyes, my eyes are steel and ocean
Twilight sky before the stars.
This land, this land is open
To cuts that wound but cannot scar.

Set my eyes to the land,
Heart of steel, heart of waves,
Eyes of sky filled with winter mist,
The sun will shine on that which craves.
Oh sun, oh sun, come be.
Oh sun, come be with me.

My eyes, my eyes, they see--
Looking out on lonely places,
this land, this land.
All they see are lonely faces.

Set my eyes to the land,
Heart of steel, heart of waves.
Eyes of sky filled with winter mist,
The sun will shine on that which craves.
Oh sun, oh sun come be.
Oh sun, come be with me.
