"Eyes Open" lyrics
Who works a little harder, a little longer, a little smarter?
Who never had it easy, never simple, never breezy?
Who's always in the gutter looking at the stars above ya?
Who gets to live on hope while at the short end of a rope, yeah?
Who dares having notions of ambitions of promotions?
Who's showing saintly patience, stamping down those emotions?
Somebody who knows better than to sleep in sunny weather
'Cause when they get that break, they'll be awake more so than ever
Yeah, you've been dreaming but you keep your eyes open
No time for sleeping, so you keep your eyes open
There's too much to see while you're kicking down doors
Carry on dreaming but keep, keep your eyes open
Even when you think you ain't got no more
There's something you're feeling says you need to carry on
Carry on believing even when you're short of hope
Carry on dreaming but keep, keep your eyes open
Most people never had a helping hand up onto the ladder
Most just dodging snakes, that's what it takes when you can't call dad, yeah
But you're gonna be a fighter, you ain't the rider, you're the driver
Much more than a survivor, you're a riser, you're a thriver
Yeah, you've been dreaming but you keep your eyes open
No time for sleeping, so you keep your eyes open
There's too much to see while you're kicking down doors
Carry on dreaming but keep, keep your eyes open
Even when you think you ain't got no more
There's something you're feeling says you need to carry on
Carry on believing even when you're short of hope
Carry on dreaming but keep, keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, you've been dreaming but you keep your eyes open
No time for sleeping, so you keep your eyes open
There's too much to see while you're kicking down doors
Carry on dreaming but keep, keep your eyes open
Even when you think you ain't got no more
There's something you're feeling says you need to carry on
Carry on believing even when you're short of hope
Carry on dreaming but keep, keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Who never had it easy, never simple, never breezy?
Who's always in the gutter looking at the stars above ya?
Who gets to live on hope while at the short end of a rope, yeah?
Who dares having notions of ambitions of promotions?
Who's showing saintly patience, stamping down those emotions?
Somebody who knows better than to sleep in sunny weather
'Cause when they get that break, they'll be awake more so than ever
Yeah, you've been dreaming but you keep your eyes open
No time for sleeping, so you keep your eyes open
There's too much to see while you're kicking down doors
Carry on dreaming but keep, keep your eyes open
Even when you think you ain't got no more
There's something you're feeling says you need to carry on
Carry on believing even when you're short of hope
Carry on dreaming but keep, keep your eyes open
Most people never had a helping hand up onto the ladder
Most just dodging snakes, that's what it takes when you can't call dad, yeah
But you're gonna be a fighter, you ain't the rider, you're the driver
Much more than a survivor, you're a riser, you're a thriver
Yeah, you've been dreaming but you keep your eyes open
No time for sleeping, so you keep your eyes open
There's too much to see while you're kicking down doors
Carry on dreaming but keep, keep your eyes open
Even when you think you ain't got no more
There's something you're feeling says you need to carry on
Carry on believing even when you're short of hope
Carry on dreaming but keep, keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, you've been dreaming but you keep your eyes open
No time for sleeping, so you keep your eyes open
There's too much to see while you're kicking down doors
Carry on dreaming but keep, keep your eyes open
Even when you think you ain't got no more
There's something you're feeling says you need to carry on
Carry on believing even when you're short of hope
Carry on dreaming but keep, keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
