‘The Eye Color Ballad’ by Naethan Apollo — Lyrics

Here are the lyrics ______________________ Hello, what's wrong? Ah, nothing, no, it's stupid You wouldn't really— Nah, you're good man, go ahead It's just that blue-eyed people get all of the good compliments And I have brown eyes I don't really get any— Your eyes are like dirt (Dirt?) Hold on, I mean that as a compliment 'Cause dirt's the source of food and life In every single continent They sparkle like topaz The stars could never parallel They look so sweet Like coffee filled with caramel That's pretty sweet And like the autumn leaves That fall from all the trees The colors in your eyes Aren't as loved as they ought to be The warmth inside of them Matches the heart inside of me It's like it's meant to be (Wow!) See, brown eyes can be beautiful too It's all about loving truly what was given to you But, I'm sure you want to know if I can do it If I'm able, what would I say if they were hazel? Your eyes have a little bit of everything Well, yeah, obviously And I'd rather have a jack of all Than a master of one Your eyes hold true surprise A single color's no fun They are second to none And they dance in the sun And the one thing I remember About eyes like yours Is I can go sifting through them Every time I'm bored To find nuggets of gold Like in the California rivers If you ever need a gift A hazel eye is going to deliver Woah, shivers Those eyes are winners too It's almost like your eyes are something Unique just to you But I know your mind is wandering As you become serene What would I say if they were green? Your eyes shine like emeralds in the light (Yeah?) They resemble lovely sights (Of?) Fireflies glowing bright And warming up the night (Aw) An attempt to match their vibrance Is a fail on every try With eyes like four-leaf clovers Know that luck is by your side Because the odds of having eyes With Mother Nature's favorite color Is a feat that's so rare You'd be shocked to find another So whenever you think green is super icky, or it sucks Just remember that in nature It's a healthy sign of love See? Duh, every eye has magic Hidden in the iris that's woven tight like fabric Of course, you're not convinced yet You must know what I'd do What would I say if they were blue? Your eyes are like diamonds (That's cheesy) You're right, that's easy And comparing to the sky or ocean waves Would feel like cheating 'Cause your eyes are so much more than that There must be deeper meaning 'Cause your gaze feels like a home I could stay without ever leaving They are calm but bold, warm but cold With little flecks of green And maybe little flecks of gold They are windows to the soul And your soul is something special See, your eyes are just a glimpse Of the beauty inside your vessel [Break] Wow, and true beauty there is Found outside and from beauty within And you don't even have to ask How I think I would react If your eyes were so dark they looked black Your eyes are like the boldest of obsidian (Like the rock?) No, like the glass from a volcano That could blow you to oblivion It's like one in a million Now you're basking in the glory Your eyes are pools of ink That could tell like a thousand stories Your eyes aren't empty That's far from the truth Space looks empty too Until you get a better view The night is in your eyes The universe is part of you If only you could see yourself How other people do Phew, I won't lie What a crazy journey But it isn't finished yet There's still a color that's yearning So join me in this moment There's no need for more delay What would I say if they were gray? Your eyes remind me of the moon (No way) It's true! They're the light inside the dark And change the tide when they're in view The dark being the world The tide being my mood Your eyes blow me away Like hurricanes and monsoons I knew the moment That I met your gaze of steel That your eyes were holding stories That may never be revealed They are fierce at first And you may think that's not ideal But I hope you come to learn The comfort that you make others feel Hooray! I think we're finally done A simple song for every eye That's shining in the sun Even after this, I'm sure I've probably missed a few But I hope by now we've learned That the beauty's inside of you
