I'm about to make my way Heaven help me keep my faith I keep my eyes wide open Bless this ground, unbroken And my eyes wide open La di da da da na Everybody loves to tell me I was born an old soul Better keep my eyes wide open

(Open your eyes before you die) We're here because of you We're here because you were there We've arrived from every corner of the planet to this nation To seek the fulfillment of a promise of America We were promised a better life in our home

Shape by the clearest blue Like it always was Just another time we're caught inside Every open eye Holding on tightly to the sides Never quite learning why Whenever I feel it coming on You can be well aware If ever I try to push you away

The master of insanity Your freedom is gone He's taken everything You ever had But if you're strong you'll survive You've got to hold on Open your eyes Look all around

As I'm pulled under the tides of this fast paced world I refuse to see Time will always be the thing that kills me truly Open these eyes waking from a dream feigning Absolution at the sight of your demise I know what I must do Swallow every blasphemy

I don't even know if I believe Everything you're trying to say to me So open up my eyes Tell me I'm alive This is never gonna go our way If I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind You may call it in this evening But you've only lost the night Present

Show me the way Why do my dreams keep slipping away? Spent a whole lifetime running away And every time I close my eyes, I've lost another day Put me on an aeroplane A million miles away She's opened up a book of hate And tore a brand new page Tonight

This isn't me, This isn't you, When it's just everything we do. Till you open up your eyes, And understand this isn't real. This is everything but true, Till we come to realize, It's what we put each other through.

No false hope Now my world is in your hands Send in the congregation Open your eyes, step in the light A jukebox generation Just as you were Well, I met the seventh son He came for everyone The day he heard the lighting in the field

I don't even know if I believe Everything you're trying to say to me So open up my eyes Tell me I'm alive This is never gonna go our way If I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind You may call it in this evening But you've only lost the night Present
