Open Eyes (Intro)

[Intro]
Far away on ocean floors they lay
Bound in chains, a grave for the blind
There they stay unless they're caught in grace
Made awake
Changed with open eyes
Open eyes

[Verse]
I see the sunlight from underneath the water
Trapped on the bottom in chains they got me caught up
Looking up realizing that I'm dying
It's a struggle just to hold my breathe inside me
I feel like giving up
Cause what's the point the surface is too far away
I will never make plus I got these chains
I look around and I see the other dead who drown
And then it dawns on me, I've been given a second round
My chains begin to loosen
And I don't understand this feeling but there's hope inside
I'm kicking and I'm swimming to the ceiling
I feel tightness in my lungs like my chest's about to burst
But I have to keep on pushing through the hurt
I'm almost there
My head is lighter than the air
But I'm fighting to get air
I don't care about the pain
I gotta make it there
The last struggle, Yo my finish line - it awaits
As the surface of the sea begins to break, wait
I can breathe and I can see
My eyes begin to soak in color
‘Cause all I saw was shades of grey when I was under water
The vibrant hues, I'm seeing new, my lungs are breathing too
This 20/20 vision got me feeling like Ephesians 2
I once was blind, and bound in chains upon that ocean floor
But now my eyes can see I won't ignore
The provoking force I know was God
That broke and tore the host of lies
From coast to coast He woke the blind
So folks can rise and open eyes
