"Onion Skin"

© David V. Gregoli

lonely soul, where do you wander?

out among the ruins tonite

a pilgrimage to the promised land

of lover's delight

like Dorothy you've been searching

for what you've had all the time

click your heels and repeat out loud

"the love I need is mine"

CHORUS

Closer to the center, get down to the core

to find the truth within- & peel the Onion Skin

heavy soul can I help you

get through the fire and ice

I'll listen to your problems

and give loving advice

take a breath of clean air

stand on solid ground

gaze ahead with an open heart

& turn it all around

-CHORUS-

BRIDGE we never get to where we're going

just farther from where we've been

layer by layer we tear back the walls

and peel the Onion Skin

gentle soul look forward

into the shining light

let the spark ignite the sleeping flame

that's your inner sight

-CHORUS-
