All The Beauty In This Whole Life

All the beauty in this whole life Is reflecting your light Cool tears obscure my sight It's the only way I see right God willing I can love 'til there's nothing but you Disappear inside you every time I clutch you Tears shed in your presence render walls humble That separate me from you until I become you Let 'em fall to rubble, let the darkness crumble Let your light penetrate me 'til my heart is trustful I'm afflicted with my chest constricted And your description is the best prescription Crack the stone in my chest and let it beat again 'Til every artery become a pharmacy Let it deliver your love to every part of me Until the splendor of your presence is all I see My death wish is to decorate my every inch With remembrance of your preciousness Until there's no longer evidence I ever existed Because until I knew your love, I never did All the beauty in this whole life Is reflecting your light Cool tears obscure my sight It's the only way I see right These two eyes inside of my head have never seen clearly A whole team of geniuses couldn't seem to cure me A lot of the time I just resign and just close them completely And rely on what's inside me to guide me sincerely Let my heart navigate and pray that the path is straight Lead me directly to your threshold standing at the gate I breathed in the sweet breath that you had let go And somewhere in the distance heard your echo My soul began to tremble You resemble every mercy I've ever known Overwhelmed me so that I began to let it flow My lenses started welcoming the guests of tears And suddenly the world revealed itself crystal clear Colors grew vibrant and the decoration vivid In that very instant I knew every thing was living Then they released and made their way down my cheek And here I am at the beginning, starting to seek All the beauty in this whole life Is reflecting your light Cool tears obscure my sight It's the only way I see right --- All the Beauty In This Whole Life - Brother Ali
