Eyes R Shut
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.
There was a time, where all felt fine
I came so close, to my personal cloud nine
Then right back down, I was earth-bound
Then right back up, this is what I found
I found heaven in those eyes
What I saw made me rise
Rise to the stars, where love was all it was
Rise to the stars, love was all it was, all it was
Refrain:
My eyes are shut but I still see
What is happening to me
The beholder holds the key
Lock me up or set me free
My eyes are shut but still I see
What is happening to me
The beholder holds the key
Lock me up or set me free
For once I might be right
Change my ways over night
Realize what's right or wrong
This life will write my song
On and on and on and on
This is what it will become
My inspiration for so long
'Til the night sets free to dawn
So long, so long, so long
Refrain
My eyes are shut but I still see
All that's happening to me
The beholder holds the key
Lock me up or set me free
My eyes are shut but still I see
What is happening to me
The beholder holds the key
Lock me up or set me free
Some things may come and go
Disturbing this endless flow
And I see what's at show
I see so much more than I could know
What's making this happen to me?
I must examine it all to see
Cause what's happening is endlessly
Is endlessly
Refrain
My eyes are shut but I still see
All that's happening to me
The beholder holds the key
Lock me up or set me free
My eyes are shut but still I see
What is happening to me
The beholder holds the key
Lock me up or set me free
