With My Eyes Wide Open

With my eyes wide open
With my feet on the ground
Standing face to the sun
Feel the taste on my tounge
Bitter sorrow, dear Lord

With my eyes wide open
With my heart in my hand
Saying 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 new notes 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 the sign
Take this doubt from my mind
Can you hear me? Dear Lord

With my eyes wide open
With my faith burning bright
You're the flame I can touch
Not a pain or a blush
C'mon near me, sweet Lord

In my opinion and for all it's worth
You've got the garden for my seed
If anybody's gonna save this Earth
Don't sit around and watch it bleed

Where are the love lines to write
Where are the new notes to play
Give me the changes to make me smile
Sad songs away

Where are the lines that flow through poetry
For you and me
Where are the new notes to play
Give me the changes now to make me smile
And take the sad song away

Where are, where are the words for you and me?
Where are, where are new notes to play?
Give me the changes now to make me smile
And take the sad song away
