Acoustic Folk Art 1, Track 2, 04:39
Dogwood
I can look into your eyes
And still not understand
What it is you’re thinking about
That’s ok, ‘cause I don’t
Really need to know
I can look into the skies
And still not understand
Why the God of heaven calls us out
That’s ok, ‘cause I don’t
Really need to know
Breathe in
As the daylight goes
Breathe in
As the dogwood grows
I have heard it said
That you cannot change the world
But I hope you don’t mind
If I disagree
For you have already changed me
Somewhere near or distant
Life changes in an instant
When one person
Takes the opportunity
Just to listen
And share amazing grace, so
Breathe in
As the daylight goes
Breathe in
As the dogwood grows
Can you save a life
Just by giving up a smile
Break the darkness with a glance
Every room has a place
Where light can come in
Changing our existence
To princesses and princes
Gathered for the dance
Will you join me
In this circumstance, and we can
Breathe in
As the daylight goes
Breathe in
As the dogwood grows
(repeat x3)
I can look into your eyes
And still not understand
What it is you’re thinking about
That’s ok, ‘cause I don’t
Really need to know
I can look into the skies
And still not understand
Why the God of heaven calls us out
That’s ok, ‘cause I don’t
Really need to know
I can look into your eyes
And still not understand
What it is you’re thinking about
That’s ok, ‘cause I don’t
Really need to know
I can look into the skies
And still not understand
Why the God of heaven calls us out
That’s ok, ‘cause I don’t
Really need to know
Breathe in
As the daylight goes
Breathe in
As the dogwood grows
I have heard it said
That you cannot change the world
But I hope you don’t mind
If I disagree
For you have already changed me
Somewhere near or distant
Life changes in an instant
When one person
Takes the opportunity
Just to listen
And share amazing grace, so
Breathe in
As the daylight goes
Breathe in
As the dogwood grows
Can you save a life
Just by giving up a smile
Break the darkness with a glance
Every room has a place
Where light can come in
Changing our existence
To princesses and princes
Gathered for the dance
Will you join me
In this circumstance, and we can
Breathe in
As the daylight goes
Breathe in
As the dogwood grows
(repeat x3)
I can look into your eyes
And still not understand
What it is you’re thinking about
That’s ok, ‘cause I don’t
Really need to know
I can look into the skies
And still not understand
Why the God of heaven calls us out
That’s ok, ‘cause I don’t
Really need to know
Song Notes
Our daughter had the opportunity to visit our Compassion sponsored child in Ethiopia a few years back. I wrote this song after hearing her share about this experience. We see pictures on television or in magazines or on social media, but it's different to look someone in the eyes.
