Mountain Natives - Bright Eyes Lyrics

Over in my town I asked my friend Gilead
Why do you look so down
He looked into my eyes
What happened to his bright eyes
Telling me about his life
He feels bombarded by the news and his distractions
Of his faraway friends
He longs for connection, his job is a dead end
He'd like to be anywhere
Bright eyes, why do you cry
Everything will be alright
Bright eyes, do not deny
That you're stronger because of the light
He packs up his clothes, standards of a light load
For some sort of pilgrimage
He leaves for a journey to kill out the hurting
I'm sure he'll be reborn
Bright eyes, why do you cry
Everything will be alright
Bright eyes, do not deny
That you're stronger because of the light
Bright eyes, reborn in the dead of night by a sacrifice
Bright eyes
Bright eyes, why do you cry
Everything will be alright
Bright eyes, do not deny
That you're stronger because of the light
