Her Eyes Were Watching God Lyrics - Adrienne Young

Her Eyes Were Watching God 

To prey upon a kind and generous heart 

To turn away from and leave a mark 

To go too far just to make youself feel better 

But you could not steal her song 

Her eyes were watching god 

Never felt any pain at all 

From gravel to gold she walks 

Shes not long for this world 

Shes not long for this 

To plant the smallest seed 

That bears the bitterest fruit 

To still believe the sweetest truth 

Hold up the lie till the sun shines through it 

Dont you let them steal your song 

Your eyes are watching god 

No need to feel any shame at all 

From gravel to gold we walk 

Youre not long for this world 

Youre not long for this 

Moving towards the light 

Peace follows the fight 

Our eyes are watching god 

No need to feel any pain at all 

From gravel to gold we walk 

Were not long for this world 

Were not long for this
