Look Inside
Words & Music by Shimshai
The wisdom inside these walls, the secrets of all time
Creator created Creation, but is only a disguise
And what has been hidden from the ordinary mind
Remains revolving thru the center of the spiral of time
And what do we give for what we have when all is not
To be forgotten on the winds that carried oceans across
And what has been locked inside these walls remains awaiting
For the one who will awaken to reclaim what we have lost
Look inside, I'll see you there
When the pattern in the skies we see is written in your eyes
Knowing time will clear the air
From a torn and twisted tale has led us only to be near
I'll meet you here
If why is a question to be answered then because
Eternal essence has elected life to represent the cause
And we are a moment passing now between the future
And the past we have created to become tomorrows dust
And all that we give for all we are is but a token of the grace
Which we are granted to fulfill this noble task
To hold the key unto the core and yet the door is standing open
Beckoning the one who walks a sacred path
Look inside, I'll see you there
When the pattern in the skies we see is written in your eyes
Knowing time will clear the air
From a torn and twisted tale has led us only to be near
I'll meet you here we search for soul unseen
And the time eternal quest to seek the meaning of this dream
With open eyes, arise to clear
And recall our rite of passage as we penetrate all fear
I'll meet you here
Inside you'll see, in time will be
In line with pure intention, integrity
Inside you'll know, in time will grow
In line with the force that has made you so...
This song was originally sort of a poem that was inspired by one of several trips to the Havasupai Indian Reservation and Canyon in Arizona. Just staring at those canyon walls and feeling so small, like a mouse, made me think of the grandeur of Creation and all the things that we as humans may never fully grasp. We just do our best to stay on the path and focus on the journey, trusting in the greater plan at work.
