Lyrics

SAD EYED STARS
Written by Ross Gordon Cambrin

Came alive in a moment.
Lost my eyes on the way.
My bitterness was unspoken.
Thought suicide when I prayed.
My smiles were the songs,
That I sang.

Rung my rhymes mouth wide open,
Of the life I betrayed.
Suffering but not broken,
What spirit could I save?
Sorrow was a friend that I made.
Tomorrow was my island in the waves.

Oh my God what sad eyed stars,
In the heavens shine tonight,
With a faith in who we are,
And a love that makes it right.
In the wisdom of my pain,
Rides the ripples of my waves,
Through the rivers of my days,
To a world not black or white.

Uncivilized but well spoken,
Wrote my letters in the sand.
Swollen and teeth broken,
I realized who I am.
Hope was a friend that I made.
I woke up in the sand in the waves.

Oh my God what sad eyed stars,
In the heavens shine tonight,
With a faith in who we are,
And a love that makes it right.
In the wisdom of my pain,
Rides the ripples of my waves,
Through the rivers of my days,
To a world not black or white.

Turn my eyes on.
Turn my eyes on.
Turn my eyes on.
