Inner Vision - Sivert Høyem

Inner vision I am lost among the clouds

Old superstitions getting ugly low and loud

I can make no decisions, I rely on inner vision

To show me the way within and without

I try my best to be as truthful as I can

Inner vision guides my hand

Oh will you ever understand?

The road was empty, someone took me by the arm

And reassuring me, she meant to do no harm

And in the darkness she confided to my soul

I never felt so alive, oh no I never felt so whole

I closed my heart to her, I know that it was wrong

But inner vision leads me on

Say what else could I have done?

I turn my eye then to the shipwrecks in the deep

Lost rivers whisper to me even as we speak

Do I seem helpless to you?

Well you don’t see what I see, do you?

Are dreams so real to you they keep you from your sleep?

I sense my fire dying, I see my eyes are turning blank

As I turn back into your ranks

But inner vision’s alive, alive, alive…
