Lyrics One Look Away - Ice Age

One Look Away

I traveled to the North
Where Aurora light the dawn
Danced among the Eskimos
And joined the whales in song
I wandered South
To the undiscovered land
The last remaining wilderness
Unspoiled by hands of man
You’re staring right through
Like my heart is made of glass
That’s all I am to you
A shadow that you pass
I journeyed to the East
Arms wide to the rising sun
To the shrines of soul & spirit
Where head & heart are one
I’ve seen the West
Where science rules the day
And Gods of awe & wonder
Have withered & gone away
You’re staring right through
Like my heart is made of glass
But what am I to you?
Some clown who makes you laugh
Can’t you see this is flesh & bone
Though my heart is made of clay
As sure as I’m alone
I’m just one look away
I’ve renamed this earth
In search of «deeper» things
Always hoping for a meaning
For the peace that wisdom brings
No sun so hot
No mountain of ice so cold
No distant faith or dream
Can ever fill the hole
It’s always been right here
All the reason that I need
You thawed this frozen heart of mine
When you caused the rock to bleed
But will you tell me what good is love
If I can’t even say the word
Without it life is mute
Like a song that goes unheard
And you’re staring right through
Like my heart is made of glass
Is that all I am to you?
I’m just too afarid to ask
You could shape these hands of stone
And mold this heart of clay
As sure as I’m alone
I’m just one look away
