Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes when I am feelin' down I look around And I'll find something new to write about I'll take in all of my better days And I'll start to sway (Just like that) Why do we keep coming up with reasons Reasons to stay in the shade Sail away from this place we're in? Let's change our minds with the seasons And we'll be okay [Chorus] You've got to open your eyes once in awhile And watch it all fade away You've got to open your eyes once in awhile And watch it all fade away [Verse 2] It's summertime and I'm feelin' bright, now Take my hand, and we'll go for a walk for awhile We could break up the clouds with that smile Lay on the grass Kick it back And watch them as they dissipate I feel like all of it's in our heads, you know Like it's just a game A game that we know too well, and I Hope we can realize That we all need to rise And start to sway [Chorus] You've got to open your eyes once in awhile And watch it all fade away You've got to open your eyes once in awhile And watch it all fade away [Bridge] You've got to open your eyes And make sure the feeling's right Let's escape from the tunnel vision Have some faith in your intuition Now let's all close our eyes And make sure you feel alright The only way you're gonna know Is if you feel it deep inside! (CAN YOU FEEL IT?) [Chorus] You've got to open your eyes once in awhile And watch it all fade away You've got to open your eyes once in awhile And watch it all fade away Oh, you've got to Open your eyes, open your eyes Open your eyes, open your eyes Open your eyes, open your eyes, oh! Open your eyes once in awhile And watch it all fade away
