We See Only Our Face

We See Only Our Face

We owe the whole world nothing but the truth,
but since we are not God, which we designed
as ideal superman of our best selves,
we can never pay that debt with our songs.
Tread with care for even the grass can cry.
We see only our face in the false sky.

I gaze into the sky, looking for God,
master craftsman who created this world
and has a plan for everyone who lives,
yet see nothing but air reflecting light.
Tread with care for even the grass can cry.
We see only our face in the vast sky.

I gaze at faces of people I meet
where I see the history of our success
surviving death to dream this hour awake
expressed in mythic stories we share.
Tread with care for even the grass can cry.
We see only our face in the clear sky.

When I see countless faces as one face,
all conscious animals who ever lived,
I see one God who shapes our force with love,
for we all spring from one first mother egg.
Tread with care for even the grass can cry.
We see only our face in the round sky.
