In Your Eyes
Stigmata IV Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have wandered through the darkness
I have felt the need to stray
But you were always there
In my fall a summer's day
I've been taken by distractions
Diluted satisfactions
But you were always there
To light my way

And in Your eyes, I see the light
And with one smile, my soul takes flight
And in Your eyes, I see the light
And when You cry, Your tears are mine

I have struggled and fought for air
Suffocated on my knees
But you were always there
There to rescue me
Through the ignorant resistance
Broken wings and all

And you were always there
To break my fall

Your love I can't deny

And in Your eyes, I see the light
And with one smile, my soul takes flight

And in Your eyes, I see the light
And when You cry, Your tears are mine
