Keep Your Eyes Open

If you could soldier on headstrong into the storm,
I’ll be here waiting on the other side.
Don’t look back, The road is long. The first days of the war are gone.
Take back your former throne and turn the tide.
Cause if you never leave home, never let go,
you’ll never make it to the great unknown till you keep your eyes open, my love.
So tell me you’re strong, tell me you see. I need to hear it, will you promise me to keep your eyes open, my love.
Just past the circumstance, the first light… a second chance.
No child could ever dance the way you do.
Oh, tear down the prison walls, don’t start the curtain call.
Your chains will never fall until you do.
Cause if you never leave home, never let go,
you’ll never make it to the great unknown till you keep your eyes open, my love.
So show me your fire, show me your heart
…you know I’ll never let you fall apart, if you keep your eyes open, my love.
Open up your eyes, the weight is unbroken.
Open up your eyes, keep your eyes open.
Don’t let the night become the day, don’t take the darkness to the grave.
I know pain is just a place the will has been broken.
Don’t let the fear become the hate.
Don’t take the sadness to the grave.
I know the fight is on the way when the sides have been chosen.
Cause if you never leave home, never let go,
you’ll never make it to the great unknown.
Open up your eyes!
Keep your eyes open!
So tell me you’re strong, tell me you see!
I need to hear it, will you promise me to keep your eyes open, my love.
So show me your fire, show me your heart.
You know I’ll never let you fall apart, if you keep your eyes open, my love
