"In Your Eyes", Peter Gabriel

To me this song is about sadness and redemption and the healing power of love. The song reflects the emotions I experienced that day and in the weeks after. And it reminds us that in moments of doubt and pain we must "Reach out from the inside" to get in touch with what's real to us and what's important. "The Light, the Heat" In your eyes.

Love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
