With my
eyes wide open
With my feet on the ground
Standin' face to the sun
Feel the taste on my tongue
Bitter sorrow, dear Lord
With my eyes wide open
With my heart in my hand
Sayin' prayers in the night
Please take care of the light
for tomorrow, my Lord
What kind of place can we
create in hate?
What makes your mind
so negative?
I keep on hearing how it's getting late
Good God,
now something's gotta give
Where are the love lines to write?
Where are the tun e -ups to play?
Give me the changes to make me smile
Sad songs away
With my eyes wide open,
with my back to the wind
Reaching out for a sign,
take this doubt from my mind
Can you hear me, Lord?
With my eyes wide open,
with my faith burning bright
You're the flame I can touch,
not a stain or a crutch
Come on give me sweet love
In my opinion and
for all its worth
You've got the blood of my street
If anybody's gonna
save this earth,
come sit around and watch it bleed.
Where are my stripes?
Where are the nudes on display?
Give me the changes
to make me smile
Sad songs away
Where are the lines that flow
before the street for you and me?
Where are the new notes to play?
Give me the changes now
to make me smile
And take this sad song away
Where are, where are,
the words that you would need?
Where are, where are,
new notes to play?
Give me the changes now
to make me smile
And take the sad song away
Where all the are covered
So I treat what's friendly
Where all the new
notes are played
Give me the changes now
to make me smile
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
