Glacier Eyes

This one's probably my overall favorite of the ones I've written. It works on a lot of different levels: It could work in family relationships, romantic relationships, freindships, and The relationship that God has with us. When I wrote it I was focusing on the friendship aspect, but later realized that it could very easily be applied to everything else as well. It is based on a poem by the same name by Trinity Patton. If you know her, ask her about her poem; it's amazing.


I’ve known you for a while, but I don’t really know you at all
I know there must be more, I want to know the depths of your soul
Your cold blue eyes, they only show the tip of the iceberg
I want to know your heart, I want to know how deep you go

Glacier eyes, let me melt the ice
Let me be your light, let me heal your cries
Glacier eyes

A penny for your thoughts, a quarter for your life story
I want to share your pain, I want to know the soul before me
I hear your cry, let me be the one to heal it
It’s been so long, I’m yearning for your trust in me
