Open your eyes

Open your eyes Triggers pop, images race through your mind; no one would believe how life could be so unkind It was a bad one, too vivid a nightmare; having a good day then the past gives me a good scare He tells me to trust him, I’ve heard that before; but I’ve had a little, all I know is I want me some more A day is two weeks, she hides and silently cries; enough suffering yesterday, time to open your eyes Forty plus years leave a mark on your soul; so close to the finish line, scared to try to score a goal Happy endings, they exist in fairy tales; every other time she rode that train it went off of the rails Was it the engineer, or was it just a bad design? Every time I felt things were right I’d wind up cryin’ Winners don’t quit because of a few failed tries; it’s time to go with a new day and open your eyes Cause walking around with your eyes closed; will never go the way that you had originally supposed You miss the things in life that are so astounding, plowing ahead with no sense where you’re bounding Banging off of who knows what, you scream in pain; why pass up sunny skies to cry alone in the rain? Those things aren’t you, no you’re far too wise; to see where you’re headed baby open your eyes Tell me what’s the first thing that you see? You know who will be standing there? Baby it’s me! Wrapped around you like a blanket when it’s cold; laughing and snuggling together as we grow old Building dreams and bringing fantasies to fruition; this is the only way to improve your condition Forget the problems you endured, heartaches and lies; enjoy my love simple and true, open your eyes Tim Windisch 06/04/2023
