When I was alone, all on my own
I'd sit myself down and take a look around
I'd think about my life
all the trouble and strife
And the things which went wrong
that lasted so long

Yeah when I was feeling bad, maybe lonely and sad
I'd put my hands to my head
and wonder where life led
And where I was going to
when my journey was through
But meanwhile up high I was always under the eye

The mystery of love, the push and the shove
Of friendship betrayed, of plans I mislaid
The oceans I crossed, the things that I lost
With the world in my hands
as dreams turned to sand

All the agony and pride of emotion that died
Like a statue of stone, I thought I was all alone
Oh but that was just a lie, darkness magnified
'Cause somewhere up high I was always under the eye

I shouldered my load
Then I took off down the road
I drove in my car
And I played my guitar, mon

I crashed in a plane
I really damaged my brain
And then I layed in my bed
With all this music in my head

The years have rolled by
I've watched the past die
But feelings remained like mercy much strained
Like a seed left unsown, like a leaf that was blown
Like a man who was blind
like there was a lock on my mind

Then a man came to me and he held out the key
And the lock hinge was blown, I had never been alone
Yeh that was just a lie, darkness magnified
And though I was not aware
all the time my father was there

Yeh that was just a lie, darkness magnified
'Cause somewhere up high I was always under the eye
Yeh that was just a lie, a-darkness magnified
'Cause somewhere up high I was always under the eye

Wellaooaaooaaooaa I was always under the eye [x2]
