Open Your Eyes
Open your eyes and you will see
The beauty that surrounds us
Listen with your ears and here
The sounds that calm us
In a world that seems so cruel, dark and full of all our fears
All we really need is a new course to steer
So many people with all their problems hanging on a hook
There's still light, peace and joy if we only knew where to look
Why can't we raise our weary heads
Let it all go and become who we're meant to be instead
Stop hiding away from things you doubt
No more excuses, no more hanging about
Open your mind and you'll be free
This world can be a better place, you will see
A place that's not so dark and cruel
A place where light, love and peace surround us all
