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

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

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

Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight I pray the Lord my soul to keep Say your prayers little one Don't forget, my son To include everyone Tuck you in, warm within Keep you free from sin Till the sandman he comes

Laying here in the morning light And all I want to do is hold you tight, just one more night 'Cause I'm in love with you Look, every time there's a new sunrise I open up my eyes And I say to myself, "In the whole wide world of guys I must be the luckiest

When I'm looking up at you I'll colour me blue Only seeing myself Anything it takes to make you stay I know you're seeing black and white So I'll paint you a clear blue sky Without you I am colour-blind It's raining every time I open my eyes

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

Take my soul I don't need it anymore Come on open your eyes You're the cure I am looking for Don't let go Such strange ways to show who we are, what you know Put the life back in your heart Let's try forgiveness no self-deception Little less reaction,

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.
