From the recording Soul In Motion
Lyrics
Caught a glimpse of himself the other day
Peering in the black window pane
Dirty green jacket hung loose over tattered clothes
Greasy hair hid most of his face
He remembers a time when he slept warm at night
Free of the constant pangs of hunger
When they greeted him with arms outstretched to him
Always looking him straight in the eyes
And he thought
Chorus:
I know that somewhere I am in here
Trapped in this body
In a life I never meant
Look in my eyes
Look in them deep now
I still am
I still am in here
Her hand trembling she grasped the old wooden vanity
And unsteadily took her seat
With hazy eyes she peered into the tarnished looking glass
Not recognizing her own face
Well I guess 70 years of laughter and tears
Wear deeper than the skin
And with all her might she gazed into her own eyes
And caught a glimpse she-she recognized
And she knew
Chorus
The other day I thought I had it all figured out
Then I woke this morning and the sun did not rise
So I laced up my hiking boots
And slammed the door behind me
Looking for, well, I did not know what
The air is heavy here I can barely breathe
And the wind tries to freeze my tears
In my desperation I kneel down beside the lake
Looking for some answers
Please are you still in here
Chorus
