Eyes Of The Seeker Lyrics - Harry Connick, Jr.

I remember what my father said 

He said "you don't slow down 

You're gonna end up dead" 

I remember what my brother said 

He said "you're runnin blind 

Like a bird flyin into the sun"... yeah 

They might be older than me 

But the eyes of the seeker 

Are the ones that see 

Old man with a new brown bag 

Washed away his home 

Hung over the nag 

Threw the ring in the river 

At the end of the street 

Then he laid on down in the park 

With the bag at his feet... yeah 

He might think he's really free 

But the eyes of the seeker 

Are the ones that see 

All... all ya'll 

Try to push it further 

Than you think your life is worth 

Or you'll get nowhere 

Spendin all your time with the devil 

Grind... your mind 

'stead of sittin home 

Lyin in your bed 

Sayin you just don't care... well... 

Big daddy from the back of the cell 

Said "you wanna last 

You gotta run like hell" 

But big daddy must been runnin slow 

He told me the view's real good 

From the top of the row... yeah 

It's overcase with an ill decree 

And the eyes of the seeker 

Are the ones that see
