Grateful Dead Lyrics Bot @deadlyrics.bsky.social · 06/09/2025
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world, the heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own. Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin' brings, But the heart has its seasons, its evenin's and songs of its own.
