lyrics

If you think I’m beautiful
It’s because you’re beautiful
And if I wanna be like you
Somewhere inside I’m like you

‘Cause the light that you see in my eyes is the mirror light
Shining the light of your beautiful love
And the beauty I see as you move and you breathe
Is the beauty of life and it moves within me too

If you just can’t forgive me
Then you just can’t forgive you
And if you hate me today
Darlin’ I feel your pain

‘Cause the flaws that you find in my body and mind
Are just signs of the judgment and fault that you find in yourself
Where there’s blame, we can’t be the same
And there lies the pain as we separate in two

‘Cause in this face is every face and every life
And in these eyes is every tear and every smile
And my mistake is your mistake, my crime your crime
And as we wake, illusion breaks, there’s only one dancing
And in this heart is every star dissolving time
And in these eyes the mirror light shines
And in these eyes the mirror light shines
And in these eyes the mirror light shines

If you think someone’s better than you
then you’ve dropped from your centre, it’s true
And the only thing that stands in your way
Is the shadow of doubt and fear you’re creating
The shadow of doubt your fear is creating
Just a shadow of fear

‘Cause the difference you see in between you and me’s
Like the difference ‘twixt stars and in each blade of grass
Though they each tell their tale, some bright and some pale
Some tall and some small and some strong and some frail
Well we’re all made of music, each magical fuse lit
With earth, water, air, golden fire, and a prayer sent from
God
Only knows where…
From God only knows where

‘Cause the light that you see in my eyes is the mirror light
Shining the light of your beautiful love
And the beauty I see as you move and you breathe
Is the beauty of life and it moves within me too

about

Ruth Blake image

Ruth Blake England, UK

Ruth’s gently evocative music is born out of her own passion for self-knowledge; driven to explore the deepest essence of her humanity and her interconnectedness with the great web of life. In her music she blends the numinous with the human, weaving hypnotic guitar riffs and tender poetry with rambunctious offbeat grooves and playful word-smithery. ... more
