Open Your Eyes

Too many words have been passed down from fathers to children without a reply

Now there's a reason to question a wisdom that no longer seems to apply

But I am still tied to the strings of my history

And just like my father I dance to the sound of the drum that is beating

The rhythm of ages

Sever your ties and come tumbling down

Why don't you open your eyes

Why don't you open your eyes

Why don't you open your eyes instead of your mouth?

Too many books have been written by liars and read by believers so nothing gets done

Now is the season to take to the stages, who really cares if we're right or we're wrong

We'll always be haunted by fear of the future

But lessons are learned by mistakes that we make

Not by stories we've heard from the lips of our fathers

The advice they give we don't have to take

Why don't you open your eyes

Why don't you open your eyes

Why don't you open your eyes

The drum keeps beating, keeping time

One by one you'll fall in line

The drum keeps beating, keep in time

One by one you'll fall in line

The drum keeps beating, keeping time

One by one you'll fall in line

The drum keeps beating, keep in time

One by one you'll fall in line

Open your eyes instead of your mouth
