EYE OT THE NEEDLE - BRANDI CARLILE
Twenty years of pushing pens of up the stairs and down again
Should've learned to style my hair
So I could never sleep at night, I've never mastered eating right
Distracted by the skin I wear
And I'm alive in here somewhere
Cause I can feel me twistin'
I'm so far beyond my years
So don't be fooled by today
Hey please, just believe in me
Don't lose your hope so easily
Because passing through the eye of a needle
Isn't as easy as it sounds for those like me ---- yeah yeah
Nothing short of miracles can save a small and dying world
That offers no apologies
To lay their hopes and dreams asleep but pray the Lord their goal to keep
But I still got a soul in me
And old protects ability and illusions of grandeur
I once was blind but now I see
They got everything for me but grace
Hey please, just believe in me
Don't lose your hope so easily
Because passing through the eye of a needle
Isn't as easy as it sounds for those like me ---- yeah yeah
