Eye de The Guess Who

An eye can be a world
for in it are the things it sees outside
and the eye is troubled.
An eye can be a time
and watch the changing patterns hurry by
and the eye is wisdom.
An eye can be a clown
it makes a merry fool of merry fools
and the eye is laughing.
An eye can be a soul
for in it shines the hope for things to come
and the eye is wisdom.
