Open Up Your Eyes Lyrics

Dream, empty and grey

A story waiting for a place to begin

Hands, laying all the best laid plans

But where do we leave our mark

In this life?

As the first child cries

Will you wear a disguise?

Or will you open up your eyes?


Torn, wearing the disease you mourn

Like a deep freeze it burns


Locked, sealed up and cast away

Surely, meaning never fades if it's true

Scarlet words be removed

And the prison in you dies

And you open up your eyes


Wait 'til the movement passes

Wait 'til your season comes

Lights on will soon be coming your way

Be faithful, morning grateful

When your remission comes

Hear summer sing your winter away


Open up your eyes and come awake

You will be created now

Every step a stroke, a dream to shape

Emptiness is falling down


Open up your eyes, behold the blaze

Burning right before you now

Open up your mind and seize the day

You will be created now

I will dream

In color from a world away

Painting every sacred day

In living light

Carve my name in the tree of life

We will blaze

Every trial and trail of dust

'Til we all turn the midnight sun

To sunrise

On the canvas of our lives

Hear no evil, tell no lies

When we open up our eyes
