When I close my eyes
I can see forever
And the leaves on the trees
Are a brilliant green
My heart hears the sound
Of a dis - tant calling
The wind on my face says to me
I've got to live my life
di - fferently
When I close my eyes
I can see forever
And the leaves on the trees
Are a brill-iant green
My heart hears the sound
Of a dis - tant calling
The wind on my face says to me
I've got to live my life
di - fferently
I say goodbye to spring
And farewell to summer
Hello to falling leaves
My life looks small
In the face of change
The wind feels too strong for me
I say goodbye to safe
Goodbye to certain
Hello to what is new
It's the best and worst
Of times together
In the storm I forget what is true
I say okay I don't know
Okay I'm afraid
I'll take it one step at a time
It may take a while
For the fog to burn off
Time be my friend for a while
I say goodbye to control
It's such an illusion
Hello to the truth of my need
The promise of presence
Is all that I have now
Sometimes I don't believe
When I close my eyes
