I love this song. In the second video I posted, check out Phil's bass 5:10 to 7:25. LuckyCharms Oct 20 #3

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 evenings and songs of its own
There comes a redeemer, and he slowly too fades away
And there follow his wagon behind him that's loaded with clay
And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom, and decay
And night comes so quiet, it's close on the heels of the day
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 evenings and songs of its own
Sometimes we live no particular way but our own
Sometimes we visit your country and live in your home
Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone
Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own
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 evenings and songs of its own

Songwriters: Robert Hunter / Jerome Garcia
