The eye has never seen and not desired
No pleasure unpossessed, but deemed required
I cannot own it all
But can’t ignore the siren call
That cries out with craving again
The gains of greedy hands demand a toll;
The bleeding of a discontented soul
I wish that I could leave
A thousand half loves all bereaved
That one heart might heal and be whole
Child, let it go; holding on brings only woe
Child, give release; only then will there be peace
I leave behind the glimmerings of gold
To gaze on wealth more worthy to behold
A wrench to turn away
But better far than here to stay
Succumbing to ashes and cold
Child, let it go; holding on brings only woe
Child, give release; only then will there be peace
Child, let it go; holding on brings only woe
Child, give release; only then will there be peace
The eye has never seen and not desired
No pleasure unpossessed, but deemed required
I cannot own it all
But can’t ignore the siren call
That cries out with craving again
