Jackson Browne – Doctor My Eyes lyrics
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry

    Sometimes i feel these words are how I've felt since being drafted and sent to Vietnam as a grunt so long ago. When I'm talking with a shrink at the VA or Vets as I volunteer at the VA Hospital these words ring in my ears and tear me up. Jackson said and sang it to the world so well. Thank You
