Eye to Eye
Embracing Life's Interconnectedness
Lyrics
First Eye to Eye
First, a direct confrontation or encounter.
Then Hand to Hand
Subsequent physical connection or interaction.
Then Mouth to Mouth
Progressing to intimate communication.
This is hand to mouth existence
Life characterized by constant struggle for survival.
So take my palm with least resistance
Accept my support without resistance.
This is our hand to mouth existence
Acknowledging the challenging nature of life.
Un-purse your lips, Unfurl your fists
Relinquish hostility, open up and speak.
Open your eyes
A call to awareness and understanding.
First I to I
Beginning with personal perception.
Then I to you
Connecting on an individual level.
Then you to us
Expanding the connection to include others.
This is hand to mouth existence:
Life marked by constant struggle for survival reiterated.
So take my palm with least resistance
Accept my support with minimal resistance.
This is our hand to mouth existence
Recognizing the collective challenges of existence.
Un-purse your lips, Unfurl your fists
Encouraging openness and release of hostility.
United we fall, into the debts of love
Unity leads to downfall in the depths of love.
Where all fortunes told,
Be attentive to the guidance provided by experience.
Just pay attention
Emphasizing the importance of paying attention.
Savour me
Enjoy and appreciate me in the moment.
Don't save me Up
Don't withhold your feelings or emotions.
This is hand to mouth existence:
Reiteration of the challenging nature of life.
So take my palm with least resistance
Accept my support with minimal resistance (repeated).
This is our hand to mouth existence
Acknowledging the shared challenges of existence (repeated).
Un-purse your lips, Unfurl your fists
Encouraging openness and release of hostility (repeated).
Open your eyes
A final call to awareness and understanding.
