Music and lyrics (c)2013 Paul Cherryseed
This morning I opened my dark green shutters
And what I saw was such a surprise
I was so used to the gnashing of darkness
The garden was a light paradise
Now I see tomorrow in today
But if I forget the smiles I’ve met
I just go uphill and that’s my way
To let His wind shine face to face
CHORUS
I see Caspar in the window
He’s sketching a picture
The setting sun that never goes
I see Caspar in the window
He’s painting a picture
Of the view on the world that is
And is to come
BRIDGE
No need for clouds
‘Cause my heart is hanging in the sky
At twenty-seven million feet, is it impossible?
I wonder now
When I’m standing on a rocky mountain
I see a wall of fog unfold
Still around me there's something soothing
A rainbow rich without all the gold
I feel comfortable, when I’m not nervous
About the things that are gonna come
When I’m staring in the black abyss
I know that He will still lead me on
CHORUS
I see Caspar in the window
He’s sketching a picture
A graveyard with golden glow
I see Caspar in the window
He’s painting a picture
Of the view on the world that is
And is to come
BRIDGE
No need for planes
‘cause my soul flies to every side
A burning flame for peace
Is it impossible
Or is the future bright?
How did the world begin?
Chicken or egg? A chicken because
Otherwise who would
Care of the poor little ones
CHORUS
I see Caspar in the window
He’s sketching a picture
A crucified landscape growns
I see Caspar in the window
He’s painting a picture
Of the view on the King that is
And is to come
