WINDOW TO YOUR SOUL

Behind the sweetly smiling eyes
Their lies a tiger in disguise
He bares his teeth so sparkly while
And sharpens his claws all through the night

"Come follow me, the path is safe
I'll take you through the pearly gates
I'm the one who comes in righteousness
All knowing I will listen to you confess"

"I'll be the one to give you succor
If you don't listen to any other
Can't you see I walk so softly
I am the one who sees the world eternal"

Tiger, tiger, eyes so bright
Step out here now into the light
Let me see the windows to your soul
Do I see a crack - a smudge - a hole?

As I look at the shattered glass
I know something strange has come to pass
As the broken windows of your soul
Cannot be mended until you are humbled and whole
