The Big Picture - Bright Eyes (明亮的眼睛)
The picture's far too big to look at kid
Your eyes won't open wide enough
And you're constantly surrounded
By that swirling stream of what is and what was
Well we've all made our predictions
But the truth still isn't out
But if you wanna see the future
Go stare into a cloud
And keep trying to find your way out
Of that maze of memories
It all sort of looks familiar
Until you get up close
And then it's different clearly
But each time you turn a corner
You're right back where you were
And your only hope is that forgetting might
Make a door appear
Well is it your fear of being buried
That makes you so afraid to speak
An avalanche of opinions
Like the one that fell that I'm now underneath
It was my voice that moved the first rock
And I would do it all again
So I mean it's cool if you keep quiet
But I like singing
So I'll be holding my note
And stomping and strumming
And feeling so very lucky
And there is nothing I know
Except this lifetime's one moment
And wishing will just leave me empty
So you can try and live in darkness
But you will never shake the light
No it will greet you every morning
And it will make you more aware with its absence at night
When you're wrapped up in your blankets baby-
That comfortable cocoon
But I've seen the day of your awakening boy
And it's coming soon
So go ahead and lose yourself in liquor
And you can praise the clouded mind
But it isn't what you're thinking no
It's the course of history
Your position in line
You're just a piece of the puzzle
So I think you'd better find your place
And don't go blaming your knowledge on some fruit you ate
Cause there's been a great deal of discussion yes
About the properties of man
Animal or angel you were carved from bone
But your heart it's just sand
And the wind is gonna scatter it
And cover everything with love
So if it makes you happy
Then keep kneeling momma
But I'm standing up
Because this veil it has been lifted yes
My eyes are wet with clarity
I've been a witness to such wonders
Oh I've searched for them all across this country
But I think I'll be returning now
To the town where I was born
And I understand you must keep moving friend
But I'm headed home
Yeah I'm gonna follow the road
And let the scenery sweeping by easily enter my body
And I'll send ya'll this message in code-
Underground over mountains
Through forests and deserts and cities
All across electric wire it's a baited line
Yeah the hook's in deep boys
There's no more time
So you can struggle in the water-
Be too stubborn to die
Or you could just let go
And be lifted to the sky
