Guy McCreery - Out Of It (Looking For The Real)

 
 

 

More Than Meets The Eye

I’ve been thinking,
Yes, thinking there is more than meets the eye.
Yes, I’ve been thinking,
‘cause I’ve been feeling,
there is more than meets the eye.
So, I started looking.
Yes, looking for more than meets the eye
And the more I was looking, the more I was feeling
there is more than meets the eye.

So now, the more I’m feeling,
the more I’m looking for more than meets the eye.
Yes, the more I’m looking,
the more I know there is more than meets the eye.
And because I’m feeling, I am finding,
there’s more than meets the eye.
That’s right, I’m finding, because I’m feeling
there’s more than meets the eye.

I’m finding, because I’m feeling
there’s more than meets the eye
And cause I’m finding, and I am learning
that there is more than meets the eye.
And while I’m learning,
I am leaning to more than meets the eye.
And while I’m leaning,
yes leaning to more than meets the eye,
I am living, that’s right living
more than meets the eye.
 
 

People pass me in the street.
Eyes wide open but fast asleep
Caught between the death-defying and nothing much at all.
Big man on his knees, I see him crying
but I can’t break his fall.

All that stuff that’s running ‘round your brain.
All that bullshit driving you insane…

Turn that shit down… and shut it off

So, yes, I’m feeling,
I am feeling there is more than meets the eye.
And because I’m feeling,
I’m also being more than meets the eye.
So, come on start looking.
Come on get looking for more than meets the eye.

Then you’ll be seeing, you’ll be feeling,
and you’ll be being more than meets the eye.
 
 

 

Dancing To The Beat Of Running Water

Dancing to the beat of running water
Dancing to the beat of shifting sands
Dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Dancing to the thought of being in your hands

Dancing to the beat of running water
Dancing to the beat of starlight
Dancing to the beat of the sun in the sky
Dancing to the beat of you and I

Listen for the groove in unlikely places
Listen for the groove in the drop of a pin
Listen for the groove in a beating bees wing
Listen for the groove when Love Birds sing.

Dancing to the beat of rolling thunder
Dancing to the beat of a flaming dawn.
Dancing to the beat of the wind in the trees.
Dancing to the beat of whatever you please.

Listen for the groove in a bubbling stream
Listen for the groove in a dark dream.
Listen for the groove in a beating bees wing
And don’t forget the wasp she’s got the groove too.

I’m singing
I’m dancing
I’m flying
I’m floating

I’m soaring
I’m surfing
I’m ringing
I’m shimmering
I am golden sunlight
I am gentle rain
I am silver starlight
I am joy and pain
I am the wind
I am the sun
I am the moon
..and so is everyone
 
 

I’m running water
I’m shifting sand
I’m all of these, I am, I am.
I am the forest floor.
I am the mountains high
I am the surging seas
I am a summer breeze

I am the dawn.
I am the dusk.
I am the night.
I am the light.
I am Here and I am Not Here
I am Everywhere and I am Nowhere.
I’m where I want to be
I’m what I want to be
The change I want to see.
The change I want to be.

I am the apogee.
I am synergy.
I am Transient–endental.

Transient-endental Transient–endental. Transient-endental. Transient-endental

Dancing to the beat of running water
Dancing to the beat of shifting sands
Dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Dancing to the thought of being in your hands

Dancing to the beat of running water
Dancing to the beat of starlight
Dancing to the beat of the sun in the sky
Dancing to the beat of you and I

I am dancing to the beat of your heart
I am dancing to the beat of your heart
I am dancing to the beat of your heart
I am dancing to the beat of your heart

Listen for the groove in unlikely places
Listen for the groove in the drop of a pin
Listen for the groove in a beating bees wing
And don’t forget the wasp she’s got the groove too.
 
 

 

The Language Of Love

The language of love is the sighing of sighs
A butterfly look in your bedroom eyes
Discover in me, I’ll discover in you
The language of love teaches us what to do
We know our love is true

Let’s slip away as we know we must
Slip away into the fading dusk
Through gardens heavy with a heady musk
Let’s slip away
Not far away
But far enough
To go all the way
 
 

Dreamers by day are lovers by night
Sharing their secrets through eyes shining bright
Beguiling in beauty, anointed by fire
With sinews like iron that ring with desire
Our love will take us higher

Her quickened breath and longing sighs
Send messages a thousand words disguise
Words of love that always meant to say
Let’s slip away
Not far away
But far enough
To go all the way
 
 

 

Venus Cracked

Venus cracked, but still the love flowed.
Venus cracked, and still the beauty inside
Venus cracked, and still her power flowed.
Venus cracked, still the beauty inside shines

Now she’s packed her bags and gone
..and who can blame her.
You asking for clarity, expecting confirmation.
Entreating her yet treating her like a stranger.

Eyes closed.
Ears closed.
Heart closed.
Soul… otherwise disposed.

Venus cracked, but still the love flowed.
Venus cracked, and still the beauty inside
Venus cracked, and still her power flowed.
Venus cracked, and still the beauty inside shines

You entered her temple, as if it was your own.
Starting a conflagration.
Petitioning her with libations, using the wrong tone.
She says, don’t come to convince me.
Come to understand me.
 
 

Eyes closed.
Ears closed.
Heart closed.
Soul… otherwise disposed.

Venus cracked and now she’s packed her bags and gone
Too many times listening to your song.
Venus cracked under the weight of expectation.
Did you listen to her whisper? Her words are everywhere.
Did you listen to her whimper? Her tears are yours to share.

You didn’t notice the subtle signs.
To all those gentle reminders, deaf and blind.
She showed you how to harness your lust
How to channel your desire.
How to make something unpredictable something to aspire to.

Eyes closed.
Ears closed.
Heart closed.
Soul… otherwise disposed.

Venus cracked, but still the love flowed.
Venus cracked, and still the beauty inside
Venus cracked, and still her power flowed.
Venus cracked, still the beauty inside shines.

And still her power flows.. Now, otherwise disposed.
 
 

 

Out Of It (Looking For The Real)

Out of it. Looking for the real
Get out of it. Go looking for the real

Now’s the time to make your move.
Now’s the time to hit your groove.
Get out of it. Go looking for the real

What you see is what you get.
Change the view and you’re all set.
An open mind is an open door
You’re still here. What you waiting for?

Out of it. Looking for the real.

Dirty town. Dead end-street.
Balloons and bottles at my feet.
Get out of it. Go looking for the real.
Get out of it. Go looking for the real
 
 

Hazy hazy. Ill-defined.
Crystal clear is what you’ll find.
Get out of it. Go Looking for the real.
Get out of it. Go Looking for the real.


Radiate and elevate
Radiate and elevate
Don’t hesitate or vacillate.
Don’t overthink or procrastinate.
Get out of it. Go looking for the real
Get out of it. Go looking for the real

Out of it. Looking for the real.
