Open Your Eyes

(album: Open Your Eyes - 2011)

Sweet sixteen with big dreams,
As beautiful as a beauty queen, world,
At her fingertips it would seem
But another world lives that goes unseen,
Behind the darkness and behind the screens,
The echoing of her silent screams,
Tear drops rain down like streams,
She buries her face up in a magazine,
She cant believe this is happening,
She gave everything that she had to him,
When she, told him she was having his kid,
He turned his back and ran away and hid,
And now she's got no where to go,
Daddy walked out on her years ago,
I guess thats how things go,
Were his world went no body knows,
Now that he's all alone, and he's
To proud to pick up the phone,
Sitting in his armchair all alone,
Drinkin and smokin his heart of stone,
Reminisin on the days of old,
He built a house, he couldn't build a home,
Its just four walls around a heart of stone
Its striping to the back and the backs a tomb

Open your eyes and dream,
Open your eyes and believe,
Oh,
Open your eyes and dream,
Open your eyes and believe,
O-oh, o-oh, yea.

Across the globe, in a dusty room,
A little boy sits all alone,
Far from home, walked all night,
Searchin for a ray of light
A spark of hope, become the chain
And as he holds up both his hands
He lifts them hight, to the sky
And as he cries he asks god why
Mum and dad both died of aids
He's nine years old with two kids to raise.
He's got no time to play,
Hasn't had food since yesterday,
And as his life just slips away,
Again he prays for just one more day
Prays his fears away
Please god wipe my tears away,

Open your eyes and dream,
Open your eyes and believe,
Oh,
Open your eyes and dream,
Open your eyes and believe,
O-oh, o-oh,

You wanna be in a place you feel like you call home
Somewhere there is no intrude no one doing no harm
Confess ill live my life to the fullest,
No stop for me, even if my pass tries to break me down
I'm breaking free,
Oh you gotta fight for your destiny
Let go of all your doubts and your disbelief,
Today is your pursuit of happiness,
So please don't wish,
Open your eyes and see,
And you will find your free

Open your eyes and dream,
Open your eyes and believe,
You gotta believe, you gotta believe
Open your eyes and dream,
Open your eyes and believe,

Cos someone be lifting
Open your eyes and dream,
Open your eyes and believe,
Open your eyes and dream,
Open your eyes and believe,

Somebody believed in you
Oh
