"Eyes of the World" is a song written by Lindsey Buckingham. It was included on Fleetwood Mac's thirteenth studio album, Mirage, in 1982. The song appeared as the B-side to "Hold Me", which served as Mirage's lead single. Following its inclusion on Mirage, the band has played the song live on numerous tours.
Musically, "Eyes of the World" incorporates the chord progression of Pachelbel's Canon and features several overdubs of guitars and backing vocals. The band heavily reworked the song throughout the recording sessions for Mirage and spliced together multiple unique sections to construct the final product.
