Death to Life

Oh the beauty of the earth
Stars and grass and sun and skies
Marching to death straight from your birth
Have you been blinded in your eyes?
Over earth there is a haze
Of beautiful unending praise
The trees have their leaves
And clap their hands
But you've been deceived
And just see death

Death to life
Oh death to life
Change our eyes LORD
Change our eyes!
The frost is thawing
You are calling
Let us open up our eyes

And when the children finally see
They fall upon their knees
They see your fingerprints in the earth
And from your death receive new birth

Death to life
Oh death to life
Change our eyes LORD
Change our eyes
The frost is thawing
You are calling
Let us open up our eyes!

And when the fool is finally wise
You will open up his eyes
Your hands that did guide him in the dark
Will ever surround his aching heart

Death to life
Oh death to life
Change our eyes LORD
Change our eyes
The frost is thawing
You are calling
Let us open up our eyes!
