All The Beauty In This Whole Life - Brother Ali

All the beauty in this whole life

Is reflecting your light

Cool tears obscure my sight

It’s the only way I see you right

All the beauty in this whole life

Is reflecting your light

Cool tears obscure my sight

God willing I can love you 'til there’s nothing but you

Disappear inside you every time I clutch you

Tears shed in your presence render walls humble

They separate me from you until I become you

Let 'em fall to rubble, let the darkness crumble

Let your light penetrate me 'til my heart is trustful

I’m afflicted with my chest constricted

And your description is the best prescription

Crack the stone in my chest and let it beat again

'Til every artery become a pharmacy

Let it deliver your love to every part of me

Until the splendor of your presence is all I see

My death wish is to decorate my every inch

With remembrance of your preciousness

Until there’s no longer evidence I ever existed

Because until I knew your love, I never did

All the beauty in this whole life

Is reflecting your light

Cool tears obscure my sight

It’s the only way I see you right

All the beauty in this whole life

Is reflecting your light

Cool tears obscure my sight

It’s the only way I see you right

These two eyes inside of my head have never seen clearly

A whole team of geniuses couldn’t seem to cure me

A lot of the time I just resign and just close them completely

And relied on what’s inside me to guide me sincerely

Let the heart navigate and pray that the path is straight

Lead me directly to your threshold standing at the gate

I breathed in a sweet breath that you had let go

And somewhere in the distance heard your echo

My soul began to tremble

You resemble every mercy I’ve ever known

Overwhelmed me so that I began to let it flow

My lenses started welcoming the guests of tears

And suddenly the world revealed itself crystal clear

Colors grew vibrant and the decoration vivid

In that very instant I knew every thing was living

Then they released and made their way down my cheek

And here I am at the beginning, starting to seek

All the beauty in this whole life

Is reflecting your light

Cool tears obscure my sight

It’s the only way I see right

All the beauty in this whole life

Is reflecting your light

Cool tears obscure my sight

All the beauty in this whole life

Is reflecting your light

Cool tears obscure my sight

It’s the only way I see you right

All the beauty in this whole life

Is reflecting your light

Cool tears obscure my sight

It’s the only way I see you right

All the beauty in this whole life

Is reflecting your light

Cool tears obscure my sight

It’s the only way I see you right
