About

The four sights, the truth of life.

Lyrics

Verse 1

Waking up, sunlight through the window

See my father’s hands growing old

Stories in the lines on every knuckle

Silver strands and memories unfold

Passing by, hospital corridors

Holding breath for news I’ll hear

Faces pale, hope and fear behind doors

Learning pain is always near

Pre-Chorus

Is there release from what we’re fearing?

A moment when the clouds reveal the meaning

Chorus

All around, I see the faces change

Lines appear, nothing stays the same

There’s a truth, right through waking eyes

Every soul will see, the Four Sights

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Verse 2

Once I thought youth would last forever

I held on tight, afraid of time

Watched as health faded from another

Sickness whispered, "You are not mine"

Pre-Chorus

Can I find peace when nothing is certain?

When loss and letting go open every curtain

Chorus

All around, I see the faces change

Lines appear, nothing stays the same

There’s a truth, right through waking eyes

Every soul will see, the Four Sights

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
