No Eyes So Clear
©2003, Bennett Hammond. Snowy Egret Music, BMI
Well I rode a high horse when I was a young man,
I looked down on my father and the world he knew.
Now I am a father of a headstrong child
And suddenly I'm the one who doesn't have a clue.
Chorus: No eyes so clear that they can't be blind,
no heart so hard it will never break
No love so lost it ain't worth finding,
no reason why but for love's sake.
Time will fly as the ages roll,
Every new generation has to find its way.
And the children learn what the old folks teach them
By what we do, not what we say.
Chorus: You can stand on your right when you feud with your folks.
Every little resentment is good for a fight.
It's the wrong way to go if you're looking for love.
Better to be kind than to be right.
