In the Eye of the Beholder



In the eye of the Beholder I lie
In his earthy kingdom I stay
I have to fly in his clear sky
For his forgiveness I always try
To give happiness all that can apply

In the eye of the Beholder I sleep
From a dream to dream go deep
In his vast knowledge I steep
In one book and words fleet
A big holly source built by glean

In the eye of the Beholder I live
With strength and strength I give
Even to the bees in their hive
People walk with me and you will never rive
As a respected Human and not as a skivv.
