Open Your Eyes Songtext
Molly lost her sight when she was fourteen
Blinded by disease, she was afraid of the dark
She was tortured through the years with non-stop bullying
She just kept getting stronger with each hateful remark
‘Cause she can see the light shine in the night
And she can see the beauty that’s inside
If you would ask her right this moment if she’d ever change a thing
She would smile and just say, "There's a reason for everything"
Blinded by disease, she was afraid of the dark
She was tortured through the years with non-stop bullying
She just kept getting stronger with each hateful remark
‘Cause she can see the light shine in the night
And she can see the beauty that’s inside
If you would ask her right this moment if she’d ever change a thing
She would smile and just say, "There's a reason for everything"
Hm-mm-mm-mm
Open (opеn) up your eyes (Your eyеs)
Open, open up your eyes (Hmm)
Taylor lost her mom when she was twenty-four
They didn’t catch the cancer 'til too little too late
She has never felt an emptiness like this before
She didn’t think she’d ever be retrieved of the weight
But now she sees, what family really means
And she still sees, her mother in her dreams
If you could ask her in a moment what the lesson she was
She’d say never waste a moment on the people that you love
Hm-mm-mm-mm
Open (open) up your eyes (Your eyes)
Open, open up your eyes (Hmm)
Ellen lost her son at only seventeen
The drugs just could numb him from the pain anymore It’s the saddest sight his family had ever seen
Their hearts fell to their stomachs when they found him on the floor
He couldn’t see the light shine in the night
He couldn’t see it’d all turn out alright
If he had stopped back for a moment and seen how much he was loved
He would never lay his finger on the trigger of that gun
Hm-mm-mm-mm
Open (open) up your eyes (Your eyes)
Open, open up your eyes (Hmm)
I’ve contemplated death more times than you would think
I’m grateful every day I was afraid of the knife
I was left alone with me; it pushed me to the blink
Until somebody showed me just how special is a life
I couldn’t see what really mattered then
And now I see the value of a friend
If you’d have asked me in that moment if I could escape that hell
I would never have imagined I’d be doin’ quite this well
Open (opеn) up your eyes (Your eyеs)
Open, open up your eyes (Hmm)
