    Lyrics
    Reality of body, food and shelter is the game
    Survival can bring me down
    If I give up for a moment spike me in the vein
    I close my eyes and fall to the ground

    Brother when I'm out of line, sister when I fall
    In my heart I feel what you give
    The mystery of spirit, the harmony of love
    Calling out another way to live

    Open eyes Praying to the god of promises
    Open eyes Looking back and laughing at me
    Open eyes Off the fence of "what if" my friend
    Open eyes And hoping that I notice what I see

    In the brightness, hopes and dreams, the gravity of bliss
    In the darkness liberation, guarded by a kiss
    In the known is memory and replay of mind
    In the unknown creation playing seek and find

    Open eyes See the wisdom of our elders
    Open eyes Feel the energy of youth
    Open eyes With the innocence of babes
    Open eyes For the love of life let's move

    Sun to give us shadows and moon to show the dark
    A lunatic is one who loves the night
    Crisis of attention when the sun begins to set
    Twilight is another kind of bright

    Be where when? and then again I open up my arms
    To stretch a lucid moment like a cry
    When I dream I'm whispering secrets to myself
    An image on the bottom of the sky

    Open eyes Praying to the god of promises
    Open eyes Looking back and laughing at me
    Open eyes Off the fence of "what if" my friend
    Open eyes And hoping that I notice what I see
