30,000 Miles - lyrics

30,000 Miles - by Eric Franklin Crow (©2009 Eric Franklin Crow)

(From the album Inner Garden, Outer Wild, released in May.)

(...30.000 miles)

To notice me just see inside you

Then see identical whenever you’re true

To notice people just look out there

With what’s inside you and everywhere (Break)

To notice future flying colors test

Past and present will mark the best

To notice Heaven just walk through Hell

Then tell me all is well

If you share your deepest bliss

With the world then expect a kiss

If you want to give good light

To all joy then create the sight

Chorus:

30,000 miles, gazing into the sky

Deep in the night, would love to try

30,000 miles, gazing into the sky

Heavy star delight, would love to fly (repeat) (Break)

It takes time to walk shade

Around the room into the parade

It takes patience to love gray

Into the brush that strokes today

If you want to give face

To your hopes then take the space

If you need to be heard

Then make certain your voice has occurred

Pour out effort to cancel apathy

Then in its place put sweet empathy

Once the skin has started peeling

It’ll patience to know healing

If you care to give face

To your hopes just take the space

If you need to be heard

Just make certain your voice has occurred

Chorus 2x (fade out)
