"Doctor My Eyes" Lyrics

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears
Without crying;
Now I want to understand.
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good
Without hiding;
You must help me if you can . . .

Doctor, my eyes—
Tell me what is wrong!
Was I unwise
To leave them open for so long?

'Cause I have wandered through this world
And, as each moment has unfurled,
I've been waiting
To awaken from these dreams.
People go just where they will;
I never noticed them until
I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems . . .

Doctor, my eyes—
Tell me what you see.
I hear their cries . . .
Just say if it's too late for me.

Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky—
Is this the price for having learned how not to cry?
