NARROW VISION
Flying above the world, everything looks so small -- A thought comes back to me, "The world isn't the mall." Everything that I used to believe has been turned on its face And all my preconceived notions bow the knee and take their place, As I think back to all the places I have ever been; And sometimes I think I've spent a lifetime chasing the wind.
I could be on the trip of a lifetime -- It would be so very fine. But if I clouded my eyes with prejudice, There would be so much that I would miss -- Like these mountains of cloud here in the sky, I wouldn't see past the hazy preconceptions through the eye.
But here in my heart, I can see things anew And learn that which I never knew. The imagination of the heart Is where I am to start -- It's a journey of the soul, It's a coming out of the cold. Open wide imagination's door To find all you've been searching for!
