Genuine Deal

(Music and lyrics by Scott Ryan)

This is the genuine deal;
This is the actual stone;
This is its own guarantee.
Yes, it's a little surreal
But that's the way I prefer
My universes to be.
          You'll turn around and realize
          You want to have those pretty eyes
          So you can see it getting prettier
          The deeper that you see.

This is the genuine deal;
As you continue to live
It's where your river will flow.
It goes as far as you feel;
Just have the presence of mind
To do as kind as you know.
          You'll turn around and realize
          You need to have those pretty eyes
          So you can see it getting prettier
          The deeper that you go.

This is the genuine deal;
This is the natural high
That takes you skyward and free.
This is the point to reveal
That in the fire and the flood
There ain't nobody but me.
          It stones you good to realize
          How long you've had those pretty eyes
          So you can see it getting prettier
          The deeper that you be.
