Backstory:

The reference to "We see through a glass darkly," can be found in the First Epistle in Paul's letters to the Corinthians, in the New Testament.   In the context of this song we are reminded that if we try to avoid truths that can be hard to face, our vision will be clouded and imperfect.   We can go through life avoiding truth, and honesty.  Sometimes we misunderstand the sensitive individuals who are brave enough to see past that which we fear and seek authenticity. Paul reminds us that in the next life, with God, we will be able to see that which is obscured or what we don't understand in the present life. Vocals and Lyrics by Clare Steffen (USA), Music and Music Production by Raul Barba (Argentina), as a part of the Round The Globe project.

Lyrics:

                                                  
V1

They said I was too sensitive

And that my thoughts were too deep

Maybe they are insensitive

Or are walking through life half-asleep



Bridge

Unaware and afraid to feel

We see through a glass darkly



V2

Perhaps they can't see what I see

Emotional blindness works for them

Not great fans of honesty

They can be so quick to condemn



Pre-chorus

Sometimes I want to scream

We see through a glass darkly



Chorus

Push the boundaries of my mind

I might have to walk all alone

Truth may not always be so kind

But I can call my life my own

Refusing to see through a glass darkly



Post-chorus

We see through a glass darkly

I refuse to see through a glass darkly

We see through a glass darkly

We don't have to see through a glass darkly



Instrumental Bridge



V3

The more I seek to understand

The less they are understanding

Time is slipping through my hand

Distance between us is expanding



Pre-Chorus

Emotional blindness continues on

We see through a glass darkly



Chorus

Push the boundaries of my mind

I might have to walk all alone

Truth may not always be so kind

But I can call my life my own

Refusing to see through a glass darkly



Post-chorus

We see through a glass darkly

I refuse to see through a glass darkly

We see through a glass darkly

We don't have to see through a glass darkly
