Not Through Our Eyes Lyrics

Which visions of reality did we have,
Through the glass eye of technology,
And the dull eye of religion,
In this deceptive self a**urance?
Blindly looking at the steps,
Through the telescope I couldn't see,
The essence of being human,
Nor learn what distance means, what distance means.

Blindly looking at the cells,
Through the microscope I couldn't see,
The stars which live in every creature,
The immediate key to infinity.

If only one breath was left to me,
I would use it to realize,
How innocently this flower grows,
With my eyes now I see.
If only one heartbeat was left to me,
I would spend it to forgive,
This blossom is full of promises,
And nothing more now I need.
Blindly looking at ourselves,
We saw infallible believers,
Holding tight on our position,
In ignorance we doomed the world.
Looking at the others,
Through my doctrine I couldn't see,
Such a blessing is being different,
A gift for all humanity.

If only one heartbeat was left to me,
I would spend it to forgive,
This blossom is full of promises,
And nothing more now I need.
