Their Eyes

When I look in your faces every day,
I can see you’re sad and lonely
Your eyes show pain beyond your years
Filled with lost hope and unshed tears

You live in the shadows of a world that is drowning
Falling apart piece by piece
There is grief in the past and no hope for tomorrow
Only suffering, only sorrow

Chorus:
Every child is a brilliant star
Whose light can illumine your heart
But so many children are stars slowly falling
Their resplendence diminishes, darkness takes over
And the only proof of this loss in the skies
Is the loss of light in their eyes.

The bruises fade but the pain never leaves
So young to lose faith in the world
I see the innocence drain from your eyes
You fake a smile but I see through your disguise.

Chorus

The dawn is coming and the world will be bright
The spark of truth is about to ignite
Have faith and hold on to the beauty within
Don’t let the present darkness win
Oh Giver protect these children
Help them to bear and endure
Guide and protect them in this harsh world
And teach them to shine their light so pure.

Chorus:
Every child is a brilliant star
Whose light can illumine your heart
Protect their innocence and keep them from falling
Guide them to shine, radiance overflowing
Let’s raise them to glow and light up the skies
And to fill the world with the light from their eyes.

A Drop of Water

A drop of water,
Though small and fragile
Holds the secrets of the universe
The whispers of the angels

The hint of a smile
The rustle of cloth
A light in the dark
The wings of a moth

The dew on a tree
The blink of an eye
A flicker of color
A star in the sky

So open your eyes
And let go of your fears
For the vastness of God and the Light of the World,
Can only be seen if you drown yourself in a drop of water.



The Song version

A Drop of Water

A drop of water
Though fragile and small
Holds the secrets of the universe
And the whispers of angels
The dew on a leaf
The rustle of cloth
A light in the darkest night
And the flight of a moth

Chorus:
Open your eyes
Let go your fears
For the ocean of God,
Though so vast is so near
Surrender your mind
Drown in His knowledge and you’ll find
Immersed in the ocean He designed
You are united with all mankind.

A drop of water
Though tiny and frail
Reflects the essence of His beauty
And the mysteries of this world
The hint of a smile
The joy in your eye
The rays of the Sun of Truth
And the stars in the sky

Chorus:
Open your eyes
Let go your fears
For the ocean of God,
Though so vast is so near
Surrender your mind
Drown in His knowledge and you’ll find
Immersed in the ocean He designed
You are united with all mankind.

Bridge:
“Every drop of…water… crieth out”
“Proclaiming unto all” He will bring life to this drought
The river of His knowledge will guide you on your way
Jump into the ocean it’s the dawn of a new day

Chorus (x2)
