Threw It Away Lyrics

Mark Heard Threw It Away

They had eyes to see but they focused on darkness
They threw it away
They had brains to reason but they let them atrophy
They threw it away

They had the sun by day, the moon by night
Feet of clay and an inner light
They were given everything
It was meant for their good
But they threw it away

They had ears to hear but they did not listen
They threw it away
They had lips to speak but they blasphemed the giver
They threw it away

They had the sun by day, the moon by night
Feet of clay and an inner light
They were given everything
It was meant for their good
But they threw it away

They had innocence in pleasure, they knew no sin
They threw it away
The depth of emotion, the touch of the skin
They threw it away

They had the sun by day, the moon by night
Feet of clay and an inner light
They were given everything they needed
It was meant for their good
But they threw it away
