Lyrics
Eyes Wide Open
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They try to silence my voice,
They try to hold me down.
But I'm still screaming out.
I'm still screaming out.
"You'd better pray!".
They call me fanatic,
Cause I can stand on my own.
I speak revivalist.
I got this fire shut up in my bones.
They call me fanatic.
And all the church doors they stay closed because I testify.
They preach sermons but I still don't know.
The fanatical forerunner.
I prepare the way.
I speak a message of truth.
Take heed - I mean what I say.
You'd better pray. [2x]
So hide yourself in the darkness.
Keep your prayers to yourselves,
Because any fool can pray just to get recognized by someone else.
The secret life of fanatics,
They can stand on their own,
Because they recognize the church doors stay closed.
They call me pathetic,
Cause I can stand on my own.
I speak revivalist.
I got this fire shut up in my bones.
We pray with our eyes open to see the victims of injustice.
I'm not just one man -
All heaven stands with me.
I've got a message for the world: it's not just us,
You'd better pray. [4x]
