One crazy savage morning I woke up
With the fever from the migrating bird
I felt my burning forehead
I left my home, I left my gentle life
I've seen things that I haven't told anyone about
I've seen the greatest love, the sort a mother gives
And I saw the most excruciating pain, the face of death
The centre of my eyes
Is the centre of an earthquake
We'll do it bit by bit
Even though the world has gone mad.
You'll be able to see it through my eyes.
I've jumped from the highest rock
Into the sea and naked, I hit the water,
I've have been rebaptised
The good things I have gone on remembering
My songs, I give them as a gift to you
The centre of my eyes
Is the centre of an earthquake
We'll do it bit by bit
Even though the world has gone mad.
You'll be able to see it through my eyes.
You'll be able to see it in my eyes
I was born on scorched earth
I was a girl with a sad look
Don't be afraid, I know it sounds strange
We're seeing with closed eyes
The centre of my eyes
Is the centre of an earthquake
We'll do it bit by bit
Even though the world has gone mad.
You'll be able to see it through my eyes.
