Open Your Eyes

I watch her from the shadows
She’s always waiting there for him
She does not even know i exist
Waiting here within.

Every day she cries for him
Because he never shows
Still she waits every day
But she will never know.

Open your eyes
Take a chance
Take a dive
Stop having to compromise
Take a chance
Open your eyes

I see her from my window
Walking past in the rain
Drenched in her sorrow
Neglect driving her insane.

Still she waits everyday
But she will never know
What life could be like?
Not waiting in sorrow

Open your eyes
Take a chance
Take a dive
See what you’re missing in your life
So take a chance
And open your eyes

I imagine her in my dreams
I see that it is different here
Been waiting for this for so long
We are finally together

I wish this is the way it were
Such a perfect reality
Could not be any better
Finally you opened your eyes

You opened your eyes
You took a chance
You made the dive
You did not have to compromise
You took the chance
You opened your eyes

Today I walked by you
You ignore me once again
I turn to speak
And heaven opened

Your words a sweet symphony
I could get lost in them all day
Are your eyes starting to open?
Here it is - here is heaven

There you are,
Up on your stand
And there I am
Holding your hand

You opened your eyes
You took a chance
You made the dive
You did not compromise
You opened your eyes
You opened your eyes
