Thomas Gut - Something To See

I flew north to a northern town
To swing my hammer at a nail
The board went in and the walls went up
And in the window I had my reckoning

The trees hugged the lake as ripple became wave
And the clouds came down for a taste
Then the sun hit twofold off the water's face
And the calm chased out the breeze

Well, there's so much these eyes haven't seen
And so much that they never will
And the burden of generations has been placed upon me
To leave my children with something to see
To leave my children with something to see

If heaven's on earth, I've walked it twice
Heard the earth tell its secrets to the sky
And the view of the mountain succeeds the mountain view
I felt Moses' cries

Well, there's so much these eyes haven't seen
And so much that they never will
And the burden of generations has been placed upon me
To leave my children with something to see
To leave my children with something to see

When I die and my body begins to wither away
I hope the daisies can still take my place
But if my grave lies barren, you'll know that I was a thief
Cause I'll have left this world with nothing to see
I'll have left this world with nothing to see

Well, there's so much these eyes haven't seen
And so much that they never will
And the burden of generations has been placed upon me
To leave my children with something to see
To leave my children with something to see
