	Story Behind the Song This describes a somewhat personal search for love....and opening your eyes to the fact that it's always been there. The refrain is actually taken from a psalm in the Bible. Written some 7 years ago with one of my closest friends, and recorded at least a dozen different times, I wanted to see what listeners think. Hope you enjoy it. Lyrics To you I raise my eyes To search the skies above. To you I raise my eyes To find your face of love When I close my eyes and hear the sounds around me now I can see in all the darkness, all the things I want to see. I am safe and so secure and all by myself. Refrain I think that I have been through all there is to bring me down, all there is to break my back, and fill my soul with sorrow. I make myself so safe and so secure. But still I'm by myself. Refrain Sun rises on the bad and good. Rain falls on the righteous and dishonest. Birds soar high in the sky. Wild flowers grow so bright in all their colors. I see all of this, when I open up my eyes. To you I raise my eyes To search the skies above. To you I raise my eyes To find your face of love To find your face of love.
