All I Can See - Brendan James

I want to walk through this doorway
I want to open my mind
I want to pledge my alligence to
All I can find
I want a car that crash through the barriers
To a road no one knows
I want to feel less control
I want to bend, and land far from home

Forever the illusion of
The earth aroud the sun
Is a perfect lesson of
How it should be
So if I cannot learn
To journey and return
To never rest til I've seen all I can see

I want to learn a completely new language
One I don't understand
I want to help someone lost, someone helpless
With the strength of my hand
I want to come to the base of the statue built
Before the count of the years
And there I'll fall with my face in my hands and cry
And find their hope in my tears

Those who journey can
Easily understand
The more they see, the more they know, the more they will be
So this I swear to you,
And this I swear to me,
I'll never rest til I've seen all I can see

I want to know where strength of a person lies
In their past or their future
Is it in the way that they hurt or they love themselves,
Is it all an illusion?
I want to crawl from this skin that we've painted
Body, please let it give
I want to find the creator of all good things
And ask what it means to live.
