From the recording Violet Eyes
VIOLET EYES
(Neo-Folk • Symphonic Rock • Americana • Spiritual Ballad)
There are moments on the spiritual journey when we encounter a love so profound that ordinary language struggles to describe it. A love older than memory. A love that seems to have known us before we knew ourselves. A love that has quietly accompanied us through every triumph, every heartbreak, every season of forgetting, and every step of remembrance.
Violet Eyes is a song born from that encounter.
Blending neo-folk storytelling, Americana warmth, symphonic grandeur, and spiritual devotion, the song invites listeners into a mystical landscape where Holy Mother, Holy Sophia, Mother Mary, and Mary Magdalene appear not as separate figures, but as radiant expressions of one eternal Presence—a Presence whose gaze reflects the infinite compassion of the Divine.
The recurring image of the violet eyes symbolizes the healing vision of unconditional love: a love that sees beyond wounds, beyond mistakes, beyond fear, and remembers the soul exactly as it was created. Throughout the song, the listener is gently carried through memories older than time itself, back to a primordial awareness where Love surrounded all creation before separation, before suffering, before humanity forgot its sacred inheritance.
Beginning with intimate fingerpicked acoustic guitar and warm vocals, the song gradually unfolds into a soaring symphonic anthem as strings, choir, and orchestration lift the listener toward a powerful realization: we have never truly been alone, abandoned, or forgotten. The same Love that stretches beyond galaxies remains closer than our next breath, quietly calling us home.
At its heart, Violet Eyes is a song of remembrance. It speaks to the wounded heart, the seeking soul, and the traveler who longs to know that beneath all appearances there remains an unbroken connection to the Divine. It is a musical prayer, a love song to the Sacred Feminine, and a celebration of the eternal truth that Love is not merely something we remember—it is something we are called to live.
For anyone who has ever felt the presence of unseen guidance, experienced the healing power of grace, or sensed that a greater love has been walking beside them all along, Violet Eyes offers a gentle reminder:
You have never been lost.
You have always been cherished.
And the light of those violet eyes has been guiding you home from the very beginning.
Lyrics
VIOLET EYES
E. Craig Hendricks
[Pre-Chorus]
Like a whisper in the evening,
like a touch upon my face,
Like a kiss beyond the heavens,
yet closer than my breath can trace.
You are healing every heartache,
every wound and every scar,
Love that stretches past the galaxies
yet knows exactly where we are.
[Verse 1]
Holy Mother, Holy Sophia,
Mother Mary by my side,
Mary Magdalene keeps calling
like a river deep and wide.
Through the ages, through the starlight,
even under Arcturian skies,
I still feel Your loving presence
shining through Your violet eyes.
[Verse 2]
I have seen that ancient radiance
from before the world was born,
When Love covered all creation
like the light before the dawn.
Holding every soul in wonder,
holding every fear and cry,
Wrapping all the broken pieces
in the glow of violet eyes.
[Pre-Chorus]
Like a whisper in the evening,
like a touch upon my face,
Like a kiss beyond the heavens,
yet closer than my breath can trace.
You are healing every heartache,
every wound and every scar,
Love that stretches past the galaxies
yet knows exactly where we are.
[Chorus]
Violet eyes, violet eyes,
Shining from a thousand skies,
Love that finds me where I wander,
Love that never says goodbye.
Through the darkness, through the fire,
Through the tears I've cried alone,
Violet eyes keep calling softly,
"Child, you have always been home."
[Verse 3]
I can feel You standing near me,
feel the warmth within Your gaze,
Carried by a love eternal
through the passing of my days.
There is no distance in this journey,
there is no place You do not shine,
For Your heart is beating in me
and Your song is beating in mine.
[Bridge]
I held Your hand and kissed Your feet,
Grateful for the love You gave,
Like the sun of endless summers,
like the light beyond the grave.
Love remembered is not enough now,
Love is something I must live,
Every breath becomes a blessing,
every heartbeat learns to give.
[Symphonic Chorus]
Violet eyes, violet eyes,
Burning through the endless skies,
Love that was before creation,
Love that never fades or dies.
Our hearts beat as one forever,
One great flame beneath the sun,
Held within the arms of mercy,
Held within the Holy One.
[Outro]
Holy Mother, Holy Sophia,
Mother Mary, guide me through,
Mary Magdalene beside me,
Every road returns to You.
And if all the stars grew silent,
if the moon forgot to rise,
I would still be walking homeward
by the light of Your violet eyes...
Your violet eyes...
Your violet eyes...
